Representatives of the National Grid Foundation visited the Diocese of Providence in January to present a $100,000 donation to Bishop Thomas J. Tobin to support “Keep the Heat On,” the diocesan emergency heating assistance program. This year marks the organization’s fifth major donation to “Keep the Heat On” since 2014, when the foundation began an annual tradition of supporting diocesan efforts to provide emergency heating assistance to families and individuals in need throughout Rhode Island. The contribution also marks an increase from last year’s $80,000 donation. PHOTO: LAUREN CLEM.

“If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
- James 2:15-17 -
