Helping RI Fire Victims through Collaboration

Fire is often seen as a symbol of life, but many of us forget that fire can take things away.

Each year, Khadarlis is reminded by the number of fire victims we serve. 

While most of the time our Outreach Center  (link to comm outreach center) helps the homeless, it serves a fair share of fire victims this year. But at the end of 2013, we used to help the worst fire victim case we had seen this year.

This client was a woman and a fire in her home caused her to lose almost everything. She and her family barely had anything left. Through our referral partnership with ProCAP, she found her way to Khadarlis.

After several visits to our offices, she was able to get over $5000 in household goods to help her and her family.


This is the kind of work we at Khadarlis live for. We didn't do it alone!

We can't forget Good360.org, the Home Depot Foundation and Bed Bath & Beyond for donating thousands of dollars worth of goods per year to help people in need.




Without the support of these organizations, fire victims like this would not have been able to rebuild lives and for that we than them!

Never forget what the power of collaboration can do for those in need.
