Ocean State Media’s first Be My Neighbor Day was a wonderful success! We hosted a joyful, community-centered celebration of what it means to be a caring neighbor. Attendees helped assemble birthday boxes for community members, learned about local community helpers, enjoyed early learning activities, and met Daniel Tiger and Katerina Kittycat.

A heartfelt thank-you to our community partners, sponsors, and vendors who helped make this day possible.

This event was made possible in partnership with Fred Rogers Productions through funding provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc.
