Strength in our leaders
Thanks to your support 2007 was another busy and exciting
year for Children’s Friend. The year brought new leadership with a
new Executive Director and a new Board President. Our Dads Making
A Difference program went into full swing. Children’s Friend took
action to help continue the Family Outreach Program, ensuring that
at-risk newborns receive vital home visits. We ended the year with
notice from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
that they would assist us in expanding our Project Connect program
which works with substance affected families involved in the child
welfare system.
While we had an exciting and productive year, unfortunately all is
not good for our mission of promoting the well-being and healthy
development of Rhode Island’s most vulnerable children. Decisions
by state leaders are being made for political and economic reasons
which are having negative effects on at-risk children. In addition,
we have seen other child-serving organizations lose their focus and
require outside interventions.
Reviewing our history helps to keep things in perspective. There have
been many trying times in our past. Children’s Friend has always
marched forward and strived to improve the lives of Rhode Island’s
most vulnerable children. With your continued support we will
overcome challenges and make lasting improvements in the lives of
these children.
As we prepare to celebrate our 175 th anniversary in 2009, we
will continue to set the highest possible standards while monitoring
ourselves to ensure that we are meeting those standards. We will
advocate to our state leaders to make decisions for our children
based not solely on short-term financial considerations, but on best
practices for the benefit of children.
Thank you all for your support of the mission of Children’s Friend.
Each and every one of us plays an important role in the success
of this great organization. We look forward to 2009 as we work
together in the fulfillment of our mission and to the celebration of
both our history and our future.
Children’s Friend promotes the well-being and healthy development of Rhode Island’s most vulnerable children by providing flexible, effective and culturally relevant services that support and strengthen families and communities.

Strength in our numbers
“What we desire our children to become, we must
endeavor to be before them.” Andrew Combe
16,131individuals participated in services during the past year.
“If we don’t stand up for children,
then we don’t stand for much.”
Marian Wright Edelman
Early Intervention
When a child is born with developmental delays a family needs
help, guidance, and support from experts. This year, our Early
Intervention Program’s multidisciplinary team served 253
families, 90% coming from Providence, Pawtucket and Central
Falls. These children, birth to 3 years of age, are experiencing or
are at risk of experiencing developmental delays from condi-
tions including autism, Down Syndrome and cerebral palsy. Our
Early Intervention Team consists of physical and occupational
therapists, speech/language pathologists, educators, nurses,
nutritionists, social workers and interpreters.

Dads Making a Difference
Dads Making a Difference, a federally funded project that
began in October 2006, provides support for Children’s
Friend to fully implement its Father Involvement Initiative.
This program is unique because of its focus on working
with fathers, including teen-age fathers, incarcerated fathers,
step-fathers, and biological fathers who are not living in the
home.
The goals of Dads Making a Difference are to: help fathers
who want to provide nurturing parenting for their children,
to develop and maintain healthy relationships with others
involved in their child’s life, and to contribute fully to their
child’s support through assistance with vocational and
educational goals. Services include home-based visitation,
case management, and father/child support groups.
Highlights of our first year:
Extensive outreach efforts to fathers and service providers both within Children’s Friend and in the broader community.
Services to 59 fathers provided through parenting groups, parent-child community events, community and home visitation.
62 staff members attended training sessions to become prepared for their work with fathers.
Dads participated in summer outings to Roger Williams Park, Slater Park, a car show, bowling, McCoy Stadium, and barbeques.
Project ConnectIt’s hard enough being a parent these days, but even more
difficult if you are battling a substance abuse problem. Project
Connect, the only community based substance abuse program
in Rhode Island, received a 2.5 million dollar grant from the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to expand
its program statewide, nearly doubling services to the com-
munity. This expansion will build on Rhode Island’s capacity
to address those issues involving children who are at risk or
negatively impacted by a parent’s use of methamphetamine
or other substance abuse.
Children’s Friend will be collaborating with the Rhode
Island Department of Children, Youth & Families, to expand
Project Connect from six communities to all 39 cities and
towns in Rhode Island. This intense, home-based service is so
successful that over the past few years, 86% of infants born
to parents in the program were born free of illicit substances.
The Project Connect Coordinating Committee will also
establish a statewide preparedness plan for Rhode Island to
respond to the anticipated methamphetamine crisis.

Investing In Our Children LuncheonRhode Island business leaders, elected officials, and other champions for children in the community
joined together for the Children’s Friend 5th annual Investing In Our Children Luncheon on
September 24 at the Westin Hotel. Thanks to board members Mary Cram and Julie Casimiro for
chairing the luncheon committee.
Strength in our community
The Walk for Children Despite a few raindrops, a dedicated and fun-loving group
of family and friends participated in the 2007 Walk for
Children held on June 9 at Roger Williams Park. This year’s
Walk helped raise awareness to the number of children living
in poverty in Rhode Island and of the importance of investing
in these vulnerable children early. Special thanks to Co-chairs
Mike Dooley and Mike Spirdione and to the many committee
members, staff, and volunteers who together made this one
of the agency’s best walks ever!

The Holiday DriveThe 2007 Spirit of Giving Holiday Drive was another
overwhelming success. For the third year in a row, employees
of Bank of America were the top corporate sponsor of
families. Panera Bread, the University of Rhode Island Admin-
istration Department, Toys for Tots, and Joe Silva all conducted
toy drives on our behalf.
Partridge Snow & Hahn Spaghetti DinnerOn March 20 Partridge Snow & Hahn hosted a Spaghetti
Dinner for our families to enjoy. This year, Partridge Snow &
Hahn doubled their efforts by expanding the dinner to
include Children’s Friend locations in Providence and Central
Falls, feeding more than 250 children and parents! Families
enjoyed a traditional Italian meal, music, books, and face-
painting. Many thanks to our ever loyal and supportive friends
at Partridge Snow & Hahn who also support us throughout
the year with free legal counsel, clothing drives, monthly
donations of baby car seats and diaper bags, and sponsoring
families at the Holiday Drive.
Partnering with The Junior League of Rhode IslandThe Junior League of Rhode Island recently launched a new
community partnership with Children’s Friend focusing on
improving children’s literacy. We kicked off the partnership
by co-hosting a Harvestfest where dozens of children from
Central Falls and Providence enjoyed Autumn-themed craft
activities.
