Our commitment to our community has been strong and unwavering since we began serving Newport County and Rhode Island in 1866. Our core values that led us this far will carry us through to brighter days, especially now, as our services are more valuable than ever. Child & Family has developed various programs to support all in need, regardless of age or situation.

Our devotion to helping the most vulnerable populations binds us together and creates an important sense of solidarity during these difficult times.
