The Good Neighbors Episode #1

Coyote RI has launched an Amazon wishlist for outreach supplies for our outreach to street-based workers and homeless women in Rhode Island. These items will be shared with “House of Hope” who goes out to do outreach 6 times a week.  Please consider purchasing an item for our outreach program. Then email your receipt to us at info@coyoteri.org and put Coyote Outreach Donation in the subject line so we can send you a tax-deductible receipt.
