The Ronald McDonald House, which is located on Gay Street in Providence, welcomes sick children and families, who need to be close to local hospitals. The house has been a long-time project supported by the Lions Clubs of Rhode Island, who helped fund its original construction. The project adds a 10 new bedrooms and a program space, which is the largest expansion project made on the house since it opened in 1989.

The Cumberland Lions Club is a group of good-hearted men and women who like to volunteer their services to help those less fortunate in our community and around the world, providing them with food, clothing, eye glasses, hearing aids, service dogs, disaster relief assistance, and much more. Lions Club International (LCI) is the world’s largest community service organization.
