Community Services/Non-Profits near Wakefield, RI

“First time ever using this non profit organization to do my 2024 tax return . Would’ve cost me 120$ to use Turbo tax. Emily was super helpful and answered any questions I had . A senior analyst came over to verify all my information and income . Hands down one of the easiest processes to make an appointment and just show up with your basic info and they handle the rest. Highly recommend to anyone looking to avoid Turbo Tax fees .”

“Camp JORI has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and truly a part of my family’s story. My grandfather, my dad, my brother, and I have all had the privilege of attending Camp JORI, making it a place that spans generations for us. I personally spent 10 incredible summers at Camp JORI as both a camper and a staff member, and today I am honored to continue giving back as a board member.

Camp JORI is so much more than a summer camp, it is a home away from home and a place where lifelong memories, values, and friendships are formed. Some of my favorite memories were made there: kayaking, knot making at the waterfront, hanging out with friends, olympics, and of course all my amazing campers. Camp JORI taught me confidence, independence, leadership, and the importance of community.

Even more special are the relationships that came from my time at camp. More than a decade later, I am still close with friends I met there, friendships that have grown and evolved but remain rooted in those summers together. Camp JORI has shaped who I am in ways I’ll always be grateful for, and just thinking about it still brings a smile to my face. It will forever hold a very special place in my heart, and I cannot imagine my life, or my family’s without it.”

“My daughter is in second grade and I've been fighting for help and not being heard since she was in kindergarten. Doctors recommendations and reports weren't taken into consideration and I was simply being ignored by the school. I reached out to Joanna Scocchi at the Arc with her help I am finally beginning to see some head way. She is with me every at every step,explains everything is understanding reassuring. I know i wouldn't of gotten my daughter the help she needs without the support of the arc”
