Women of Excellence Award - On May 7, 2010, our volunteers received a Women of Excellence award from the Women's Center of Rhode Island. The award was presented during a luncheon in Providence at which Denise Brown was the featured speaker. We are so proud that our dedicated mentors have been recognized for empowering moms who need extra support as they face parenting challenges. We are honored to work with such a fabulous group of women.
