Brenda Aquilante, senior administrative clerk at PWS, began organizing holiday donations for TPC families three years ago.  In the first year, PWS 'adopted' a single family; but once Brenda saw the generous outpouring of donations from her co-workers, she realized there was potential to do much more.  This year, Providence Water Supply's toy drive has raised dozens of toys, hats, gloves and mittens, and over $350 in cash donations.  Thanks to Brenda and the team at PWS, underprivileged children across Rhode Island will now receive new toys and clothing this holiday season. TPC's Annual Campaign Manager Erica Donnelly spoke of the impact of Providence Water Supply's donation. "Their continued generosity is overwhelming," Donnelly said.  "It's wonderful to be able to partner with such caring individuals in the community to make the holiday season brighter for our little ones in need.  We're truly grateful." ##### Contact Us [Send Us A Message](https://www-providencecenter-org.sandbox.hs-sites.com/contact-us) [+1 (401) 276-4020](tel:+14012764020) 528 North Main Street Providence, RI 02904 - [**](https://www.facebook.com/providencecenter) - [**](https://twitter.com/TheProvCenter) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-providence-center/) ##### Other Care New England Locations [Care New England ](https://www.carenewengland.org/) [Butler Hospital](https://www.butler.org/) [Kent Hospital](https://www.kentri.org/) [VNA of Care New England](https://www.vnacarenewengland.org/) [Women & Infants](https://www.womenandinfants.org/) ##### Patients and Visitors [Find A Provider](https://www.providencecenter.org/provider-finder) [Integra Community Care](https://www.integracare.org/) ##### About Us [Who We Are](https://www-providencecenter-org.sandbox.hs-sites.com/about) [Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI)](https://www.carenewengland.org/dei) [Senior Leadership](https://www-providencecenter-org.sandbox.hs-sites.com/leadership) [In the News](https://www.providencecenter.org/news) [HIPAA](https://www-providencecenter-org.sandbox.hs-sites.com/hipaa) ##### Get Involved [Ways to Give](https://www-providencecenter-org.sandbox.hs-sites.com/donate) [Careers ](https://www.carenewengland.org/careers) [Volunteer](https://www.carenewengland.org/volunteer) --- Copyright © 2026 Care New England Health System × You are about to leave our website and enter an external site.
