THANK YOU to all who joined and supported us for
Amenity Aid’s 8th Annual Benefit & Raffle Spectacular!

Farm Fresh RI, 10 Sims Ave, Providence, RI 02909 (free on-site parking!)
About the Event
We enjoyed a wonderful evening of music, raffle prizes, and food truck fun! Funds raised through this event directly support our mission to end hygiene insecurity in Rhode Island by supplying essential hygiene products to individuals and families in need. This benefit featured a special guest emcee, Bekah Berger from 92 PRO FM, an ice cream sundae bar, and a spectacular selection of raffle items! Plus - free entry into our door prize! New Harvest Coffee Roasters sold beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic options), with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Amenity Aid.
In addition, attendees SOLD OUT our Stock The Shelves banner as they selected toiletries to "purchase" such as soap for veterans, period products for unhoused individuals, deodorant for teens in need, and so much more.
Thanks to your participation and support, thousands struggling in our state gain access to the most basic hygiene products necessary for good health and wellness. Hosting an event like this means our neighbors will not have to choose between food or essential toiletries, utilize harmful coping strategies like washing without soap, or experience emotional distress that occurs when their basic hygiene needs cannot be met.
Online ticket sales have closed, but you can still support our fundraiser and help us hit our goal!
