Tap-in is an all-volunteer agency
Touch A Person In Need
HISTORY
Tap-In was founded in 1983 by a group of six women to provide referrals and information to people in the East Bay. Now, we also provide them food, clothes, furniture, and transport to medical appointments.
WHO WE ARE
Our mission: Is to improve the quality of life for residents of Rhode Island's East Bay by providing resources to address food insecurity and economic hardship
WHAT WE DO
Tap-in provides direct assistance to residents of Barrington, Bristol, East Providence and Warren.
Martin Luther King Day,
January 17th
is a National Day of Service. To honor the day, help fill the shelves at TAP-IN by donating food during the Barrington Lions Club food drive. Between 11am and 2pm, drive up and drop off in front of TAPIN. Unexpired cereal, soup, vegetables, fruit and protein are always in demand. Boxed treats and baking mixes are also very welcome!
