WARM Center

🎉 We have some exciting news to celebrate! 🎉

Please join us in congratulating Brianna Ehler, WARM Center’s Senior Manager of Clinical Operations, on receiving the 2026 Sister Judy Soares & John Coen Memorial Award for Direct Service from the Rhode Island Coalition to End Homelessness.

If you know Brianna, you know how well deserved and long overdue this is. Whether she’s helping someone navigate a crisis, supporting her team, or fighting to remove barriers to housing, Brianna brings empathy, determination, and heart to everything she does. Brianna has a special way of making people feel seen, heard, and valued—and her impact is felt every day by our clients, staff, and community.
Congratulations, Brianna! 💙 We are so proud to have you on Team WARM!

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. 💙

Every lunch we prepare and deliver is made possible by the incredible volunteers who generously give their time and hearts. Your support provides the food. Their hands make it happen.

Together, we're ensuring children across Washington County and Southeastern Connecticut have a healthy lunch all summer long.

Donate today at www.warmcenter.org/donate to help keep the summer lunches coming!

In just 4 weeks, WARM Center has provided 6,321 lunches to children across Washington County and Southeastern Connecticut!

For many children, these meals provide more than nourishment—they bring consistency, relief, and one less worry for families during the summer.

Your support makes every lunch possible. Help us continue reaching children all summer long by making a gift today: 💙 http://www.warmcenter.org/donate
