org. Donations support Big Brothers of Rhode Island, which has provided positive male role models for more than 8,000 at-risk boys since 1952.

“It’s a proven, successful way for us to raise money and help more boys in our state. And because we come straight to your door, it’s also a practical and convenient way for Rhode Island residents to clean up some closet space and give back to their community at the same time. This program is designed to support our mission while saving time for Rhode Islanders,” Steve Kass, BBRI executive director, said in a statement.
