Season of Giving
The CCRI Season of Giving will be an annual celebration of gratitude and service for our community.
October through December is our Season of Giving, an initiative that reflects our commitment to both our students and the communities we serve. CCRI is much more than a place of learning; it's a part of the fabric of our community. This season, CCRI is coming together as One CCRI to support our local communities and greater Rhode Island. Each drive or event supports a non-profit organization in the communities that our campuses call home. Season of Giving is an opportunity to make a positive impact together for our students and the broader community. Let's showcase the power of CCRI coming together to make a difference. Thank you for helping us support our neighbors and community partners this season. One College. One Community. One CCRI.
To celebrate, we've scheduled several events and drives beginning this month and continuing through the end of the fall semester. See below for more information on how you can participate.
CCRI is proud to partner with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program for its annual holiday toy drive. For the second consecutive year, the Knight Campus Fieldhouse will serve as the official toy distribution site for Rhode Island. Last year’s distribution week brought joy and excitement to hundreds of Rhode Island families, creating a truly memorable experience for volunteers and families. CCRI is honored to once again welcome families as they shop for holiday gifts in a warm and festive environment.

Donate to Our Campus Drives
Help support our campus drives by dropping donations at the Security Desk at the main entrance of any campus. We’re collecting new, unwrapped toys, books, and games for Toys for Tots; hygiene items like shampoo, body wash, deodorant, detergent, and feminine products for the MLK Center; nonperishable foods such as canned goods, pasta, rice, beans, and nut and seed butters (no glass, please) for the RI Community Food Bank; and dog treats, collars, beds, metal crates, and cleaning supplies like Mr. Clean and OdoBan for The Hotel for Homeless Dogs.
Sign Up to Give Blood on November 17.
