In our most ambitious project to date, we're expanding our 18-bedroom House to a 28-bedroom House! Construction is nearly complete, and the new facilities will help us serve approximately 130 more families each year. We want to make sure that there's  Always Room at the House.

Thanks to the generosity of the Champlin Foundations, any tax-deductible gift you give will be MATCHED, until September 30, 2016. 

We are very close to reaching our $5 million fundraising goal, but we need support from loyal friends like you to help us reach the finish line.
   
Any gift you give now will have 
TWICE THE IMPACT!

Thanks to the Champlin Foundations, any donation you make by September 30, 2016,  will be matched - dollar for dollar. 
  
Help us fill our new courtyard. Our construction is almost finished and our second courtyard needs some more bricks! 

YOU can help keep families close by purchasing an engraved brick or granite paver for someone in your life.

Our courtyards are a calming, beautiful respite where our guests can relax and focus on hope and healing. 

You will receive a certificate highlighting your support and we'll send an acknowledgement card to your honoree also.

Be a part of the legacy of RMH Providence!
