Serving Our Community
At the heart of every thriving community lies a network of individuals united by a shared commitment to the well-being of all. Community service builds bridges across cultural, economic, and generational divides. It provides vital support where government or private resources may fall short, ensuring that vulnerable populations—such as the elderly, impoverished, veterans, or disabled—receive assistance and care.
The effects of community service extend far beyond the immediate acts of giving. Communities become stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to face challenges. Service encourages a cycle of generosity—those who benefit are often inspired to give back, creating a positive feedback loop that strengthens the social fabric.
Why We Give Back
Community service is more than a duty, privilege and an opportunity to shape the world for the better. By reaching out to others, individuals forge deep connections and foster understanding. Whether through small acts of kindness or organized efforts, the act of serving one’s community is a testament to the enduring power of human compassion.
As societies continue to evolve, the need for community service remains constant. It is an essential element of progress, bridging divides and building hope for generations to come. Each contribution, no matter how modest, is a vital step toward a much better world. Our team at Fontaine Brothers & Associates, Inc., are committed to serving our community and improving the lives of all those we serve. Together, we can work toward building a better Rhode Island!
Rebuilding a Warwick Family’s Home After a Fire
In 2020, a Warwick family lost their home to a fire and were left without the insurance funds to rebuild. Chris saw their story on the news, reached out, and offered to help. There was no elaborate plan, only a family in a hard place and a trade that could make a difference. He led a team of volunteers, and the work happened in the middle of COVID, when materials, labor, and scheduling were all uncertain. Our team and the people who joined us found a way to do it, and the family got their home back. Being able to use what we do every day to help a family in that situation is something we’re proud to have been part of.

Dare to Dream Ranch, Foster
Dare to Dream is a nonprofit in Foster, Rhode Island. Chris and his family partnered with the foundation, giving their time, hands-on work, and construction experience to help complete its project. We’re glad to have been part of it.
A Wish Come True
We volunteered with the A Wish Come True Foundation to help build a facility for families facing hardship. Our work directly supported a family with a child on the autism spectrum, creating a space that offers comfort and hope. The foundation knows it can come to us with future construction needs, and we’ll look at how we can help.
