The Rhode Island Spotlight
Creating Miracles, Changing Lives
What started out as a soup kitchen and emergency shelter in the heart of Westerly nearly three decades ago has evolved into a comprehensive non-profit social service organization that this year will serve more than 2,300 people. The WARM Center has expanded to serve not only those in Westerly, but also surrounding communities in Rhode Island and nearby Connecticut. In this August 2016 video, Rhode Island Spotlight host Jim Hummel sits down with Russ Partridge, WARM’s executive director, and two people who say WARM saved their lives – literally.
Rhode Island Spotlight highlights community heroes and heroic organizations. Visit them and browse the archive at http://www.rhodeislandspotlight.org.

Testimonials
I’ve had my ups and downs but the one BIG lesson I learned at the WARM Center was there are still good people out in the world that care. NEVER give up on people because there are good and caring people. Most of all, I want to say thank you to the staff for being there and listening and putting me back on the right road.
WARM was there for my family at a very tough time. They provided a place to live and great advice. Today, I’m working and we’ve moved into a place of our own. I’ll be grateful to WARM forever.
I’m on a fixed income. My finances are so tight that there isn’t a lot left over for food. When I go to WARM for dinner, I know I’m going to get at least one good, hot meal. Which is usually all I need.
A few years back everything crashed in on us at one time: an unexpected medical bill, a car repair, reduced hours at work. Another agency referred us to WARM. Noella was able to help us get our rent paid so we wouldn’t lose our apartment. WARM was a lifesaver! Thanks you, WARM Center.
