Neighborhood has been invested in the Rhode Island community for 30 years. One of the ways we give back is by partnering with great organizations like Reach Out and Read Rhode Island. Several members from our team volunteered their time at this year’s Read & Romp – including Dr. Care Bear – by giving out books, creating fun activities for kids, and answering questions that families had about health insurance. Thank you to all those who volunteered their time to make this event a success!
