Earnie is really strict but also a very good caring person there’s just absolutely no getting over on him lol! Hey sometimes you foots take the good with the bad or indifferent lol! But I hear it’s one of the more easy going of the shelters in RI ! 9:00 curfew must be met all 7 days of the week!

Lovely place. Not like other shelters I've seen. This is a very clean place. Very secure place, many security cameras outside, lots of lighting at night. Building is locked so nobody can just walk in. Each mother has a nice spacious room that locks for her family to feel secure. Everything they need is right there on site. The director is very nice, all the workers are very pleasant. Beautiful inside and out. I can't say enough nice good things about this place.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Is the Holy Family Home for Mothers and Children in need of any volunteer work? Very interested in helping or donating items (clothing, cosmetics, food) in any way needed to assist in creating more comfort and peace for the residents.

They are always looking for new volunteers just call and tell them that you want to volunteer and tell them the hours that you're available donating things is a little different because just because you give it to them doesn't mean they give it to us they might put it in a closet in the basement forever and we may never see it or they might take certain little things out and put them out but they don't let us know that certain things are available so it's difficult but it's a good place for you to donate things and give back
