Yesterday, August 31, we recognized International Overdose Awareness Day—a time to remember those we have lost, support those impacted by substance use, and remind our community that overdose is preventable. Ending overdose starts with education, compassion, access to resources, and removing the stigma that can prevent people from asking for help.

💜 Remember without stigma.
💜 Support without judgment.
💜 Together, we can Keep Hope Alive and End Overdose

What a night on the water!

Our 11th Annual Sunset Cruise may have been missing the sunset but that certainly didn’t stop us from having a great time.

It was still a beautiful evening aboard the Black Hawk II filled with good food, great company, lots of laughs, and even a few seals along the way!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night so much fun. We are so grateful to our friends and supporters who continue to show up for WARM and make events like this so special.

Until next year!

July at WARM Center! A month of milestones.

🏡 We welcomed our first family into 58 Spruce after receiving the Certificate of Occupancy. There's nothing better than seeing a house become a place of hope and new beginnings.

📍 Two team members, Jessica and Jill, attended the National Alliance to End Homelessness Conference in Washington, D.C., returning with fresh ideas, renewed hope, and inspiration from communities across the country working toward the same goal: ending homelessness.

🤝 We also invested in our team during a Leadership Rhode Island staff retreat led by James Rajotte and Jackie Carroll, strengthening the people who make this work possible every day.

Every milestone is a reminder that progress happens when a community comes together. Thank you for being part of the journey as we continue bringing people home. 💙
