🎆 Happy 4th of July! 🎆 In observance of Independence Day, our offices at Family Service of Rhode Island will be closed today. We will resume normal operations on Friday. We hope you have a safe and joyful holiday with your loved ones. See you soon! Find your fireworks display:

Please note that our offices are closed on Wednesday, June 19th, in observance of Juneteenth, a significant day in American history. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought news of freedom to enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. This day serves as a powerful reminder of our country's complex history and the ongoing pursuit of equality and justice for all.
