Federal Hill House:
People Helping People
 Ever since the 1880s,
when Federal Hill House was a settlement house for immigrants,
our focus has been people helping people.
Today, we help people of all
colors and ethnic backgrounds – both new arrivals and longtime
residents, all of whom have one thing in common: they have
critical basic human needs.
Our services are focused on
helping people help themselves. Staffed by both paid, highly
trained workers and by volunteers, Federal Hill House is
dedicated to enabling people from throughout the Greater
Providence area achieve their potential by removing obstacles
that hinder them. Many Federal Hill House employees and
volunteers have been with us for years; they know the
community, they know the people, and they know the challenges.
Together, we do our level best to help no matter how difficult
the circumstances.
"We are always looking for
people in the community who are willing to provide
help..."

Not only do we provide every-day
services like child care and programs for seniors . . . but we
also work with people immediately affected by critical issues
such as domestic abuse.
Although we do offer a set
palette of services, we don’t limit ourselves to “one from
column A, two from column B.” Rather, we focus on finding the
best solutions for our individual clients, one at a time.
Although we try to tailor our programs to accomplish
frequently encountered objectives, nonetheless we work with
everyone to help: simply enough, it’s people helping people.
Volunteers. We are always looking for people in the
community who are willing to provide help, whether it’s
working with us to deliver goods or services or volunteering
in other capacities. Whether you can offer two hours a month
or twenty, we are equally grateful. We also sponsor a
number of fundraising events, including our annual Walkathon,
which enables many people to pitch in easily.
True to our mission of changing
and evolving as our constituency’s needs change, Federal Hill
House stands as a symbol of strength, always seeking to
provide for the social, educational, and emotional needs of
all those who seek our assistance. If you are
interested in volunteering, please visit or call us at
401-421-4722.
All programs, except childcare,
are free of charge. We welcome you to join us. Visit our
facility, or call us at 401- 421-4722.
