Mission Statement
Our Mission is to unite a coalition of professionals, business owners, and employees in the Hospitality, Tourism, Marketing & Entertainment industries to organize fund raising campaigns in support of charitable organizations that help feed people and to offer youth programs and learning residencies in health, nutrition, and career counseling.
Description:
ProVisions United, Ltd.
EVENTS & EDUCATION TO FEED PEOPLE
ProVisions United, Ltd. is a Rhode Island chartered organization committed to offering
universal food-care, hope and dignity to all people, facilitating collaborative local/global
community fundraising and strategies to create, support, & sustain self-reliance.
We accomplish our mission by involving the local/global communities as food donors, volunteers and financial supporters of local Food Banks and related agencies, working collaboratively with individuals/groups on programs that empower all people to meet their own nutritional needs and communicating locally and globally with community leaders in support of universal food care for all people.
ProVisions United depends on funds generated through individuals, corporate donations, foundations, funding from local, regional, national, international governments and special events to deliver essential products and programs.
In evaluating possible partners for ProVisions United special events, we attract companies whose products and services speak to the audience of the event, who are sensitive to the issues of feeding people in our local/global communities, and who realize the myriad of benefits regarding sales and marketing opportunities that sponsorship provides.
ProVisions United helps supply food for all people of global communities including but not limiting families with children, the elderly, teenagers, the homeless, the homebound, low-income workers and people living with HIV/AIDS.
