The PWCVB worked set up drop-off stations with its member organizations, collecting an impressive haul of arts and craft materials, bathing suits and towels, school supplies, and a wide variety of other items. The value of the good received was $2,500.
"We were very impressed with both the quality and quantity of the items we received from the PWCVB," said David Bodah, Senior Director of Development for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence. ‘The donation will continue our mission of enabling and inspiring your people to reach their full potential."
