Since 1945, thousands of Rhode Islanders have come to us for help.  Capital City Community Centers is a nonprofit social services agency helping people in need.  We provide individuals and families with the tools they need to live independent, healthy, productive and successful lives.

Many of the individuals and families we serve are very low-income, facing daily pressures to provide food, shelter, child care and health care for themselves and their families.  We serve parents and children from diverse backgrounds, including African-American, African, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Caucasian and Asian, and many have limited English capacity.

Capital City Community Centers is dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of families throughout Rhode Island.  Our core values include:

Equality - We believe that each person matters and makes a difference to everyone else.

Responsibility - We believe that human beings are self-determining and are responsible for their own lives. Everyone regardless of their age has the capacity to be responsible.

Honesty – We believe that honesty is the foundation of our work.  Our strength is secured by trust, and that trust grows through truth in action and in words.

Respect – We believe that respect for oneself, for others, for ideas and for property is the vital connection that makes every individual a valued member of our community.

Freedom - We believe that human beings learn best when they are not afraid of making mistakes which are valuable opportunities to learn.

Generosity and Hard Work – We believe that individual commitment, active participation, and taking effective action are the personal contributions that open doors to confidence and competence.

Community - We believe that human beings are social creatures who thrive when they support and are supported by others in their community.
