A chance meeting at a homeless encampment … Coalition Reporter & Libertarian Mutual Aid Founder Pat Ford was at a Press Conference, to discuss the upcoming forced eviction of dozens of unhoused Rhode Islanders. In the blazing midsummer heat, a young man approached Pat for a “cold bottle of water” … By coincidence, Pat’s truck held 2 pallets of bottled water, originally destined for a “drop in center”. Realizing that despite the literal millions spent by Rhode Island Government to “combat” homelessness, including the appointment of a well paid “Housing Czar”, no one had thought to provide folks living out door with the most basic of needs. Clean. Drinking. Water. 

That day, 40 Packs was delivered to each tent. And, the water project was formed. Water is now delivered to encampments & drop in centers across Northern Rhode Island. Your generosity will help with delivery costs, and additional foodstuffs as funds are available
