Think of the Warm-A-Heart Gingerbread Program as a kindness movement that wraps the community in a warm embrace over the holidays. It starts with a team of compassionate bakers from Ellie’s in Providence who spend hours baking thousands of gingerbread people and continues with volunteers from diverse organizations and businesses across Rhode Island assembling Warm-A-Heart Gingerbread decorating kits at ReFocus in Providence. The magic continues when people across the state purchase the boxed kits, which include an 8″ gingerbread person, packaged candies, and icing, with someone special in mind. The magic continues when the recipient discovers a fun craft and a delicious treat in one and learns their purchase has helped raise funds for Rhode Island families in need. The culmination of this kindness movement? 

Warmth

Warm winter clothing items, warm fluffy pillows and blankets, and warm hearts for needy families and cancer patients struggling to pay bills.
