Bring Holiday Joy to Teens in DCYF Foster Care, Group Homes and Shelters
The Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) in conjunction with the Rhode Island Foster Parents Association (RIFPA) and the Rhode Island Council of Resource Providers (RICORP), is seeking help from individuals and groups for the annual Holiday Gifts Campaign.
You can bring holiday joy to teens in foster care, group homes and shelters by:
- contributing to our monetary campaign to ensure that all teens in care receive a gift certificate
- or signing up your group to be matched with a group home and providing unique holiday gifts to teens in care.
Contact Julie DiBari at 401-438-3900 x101 or julie.dibari@rifpa.org for more information on getting matched with a group home, or make your tax deductible donation using our online form or via a check payable to “RIFPA” and send to:
