A MESSAGE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORWELCOME!
Thank you for visiting McAuley Ministries. I’m so glad you’re here – and grateful for your interest in learning more about our work, whether you are considering volunteering, donating or simply getting to know our community.
For more than 50 years, McAuley Ministries has been a place of welcome, rooted in the vision of the Sisters of Mercy and their founder, Catherine McAuley. What began in 1975 as a simple act of feeding the hungry has grown into a comprehensive network of services that supports individuals and families facing some of life’s greatest challenges.
Today, through McAuley House, McAuley Village and The Warde-robe, we provide meals, housing, childcare, clothing and essential wraparound services. Across all of our programs, one thing remains constant: a commitment to meeting each person with dignity, compassion and hospitality.
As someone who has spent many years working alongside nonprofit organizations here in Rhode Island, I have seen firsthand how transformative this kind of care can be. At McAuley, that transformation happens every day – through the dedication of our staff, the generosity of our donors, and the compassion of our volunteers and partners.
This is meaningful work. It is also challenging work. But it is deeply hopeful. Every day, we have the opportunity to walk alongside our neighbors as they move toward greater stability, independence and a brighter future.
We simply could not do this without the support of our community. Your generosity makes it possible for us to serve thousands of individuals and families each year – many of whom have nowhere else to turn.
I invite you to learn more, get involved and, if you feel called, to be part of this mission. I would also welcome the opportunity to connect with you personally and share more about the impact of your support.
With gratitude,
Christine McDermott
Executive Director
