WARWICK, RI — Warwick -based Amenity Aid, providing free personal hygiene items to households in need, is one of three nonprofits granted $5,000 Rhode Island Foundation Best Practice Awards.

The organization is the first of its kind in Rhode Island to distribute hygiene products like soap, period products, deodorant, toothpaste and other essentials to a statewide network of direct service agencies. Consequently, the RI Foundation presented Amenity Aid with the Innovative Programming and Service Delivery Award, recognizing a nonprofit organization that has planned, developed and implemented an innovative program for its community.

“Our ambitious goal for 2024 is to help 110,000 Rhode Islanders by increasing full-size product distribution by 42% and travel hygiene kits distribution by 117% compared to last year. We are committed to serving the community and its diverse needs. Our services assist all vulnerable populations, including those who are homeless, low-income, veterans, immigrants, refugees, LGBTQIA+ youth, and violence or abuse victims, and more,” said Liz Duggan, founder and executive director.
