UPDATE: The Giving Wreath

We’re so proud of all of you and so grateful to our amazing customers and vendors…

Through our Giving Wreath effort and Christmas Family Sponsorship donations we were able to sponsor 5 families in need this Christmas: EVERYTHING on their Christmas lists from proper winter weather gear to the latest “must have” toys to an infant car seat. With your help we raised and contributed over $1500 toward making children’s Christmas dreams come true. We thank you for partnering with us to make a difference in our community. 

To learn more about The Giving Wreath Christmas Sponsorship, read more below:

We’re excited to be kicking off The Giving Wreath fundraiser for Christmas season 2019. For a $25 donation, you can choose a uniquely decorated, fragrant, 24″ evergreen wreath.

Not only will these beautiful wreaths bring Christmas joy to your home, but they will bring Christmas joy to the homes of children-in-need in Pawtucket, RI. Here’s how The Giving Wreath works:

  1. You purchase a wreath for $25 donation (you can find them hung throughout the shoppe)
  2. Four Echoes Matches your $25 donation
  3. The matched donation + all proceeds from each wreath will support the Christmas Family Sponsorship–we’ll purchase Christmas presents for several families-in-need from the Baldwin Elementary School in Pawtucket, RI.

Additional ways you can participate:

  • Choose a symbolic “gift” from our display to donate at a price point that fits your giving budget–under $25 (we’ll do the shopping for you with your donation)
  • Give a cash donation to support the Christmas Family Sponsorship initiative

Four Echoes supports Baldwin Elementary School, Pawtucket, RI

One of Four Echoes’ outreach programs is Baldwin Elementary School in Pawtucket, RI. As you all know, teachers provide much of the supplies needed to run a classroom–out of their own pocket. We help provide bags full of supplies for each classroom to support the teachers who work tirelessly to invest in the youth in our communities.

YOU can be part of our mission by making a donation to help us fill a bag for a teacher. Together we can make a difference in our community!

Outreach Highlight: Courageous Kids Summer Program

Four Echoes at Grist Mill Pond Vintage Shoppe is a non-profit organization. Our income is derived from vendor rents, sales of merchandise that is donated to us, and financial contributions. Are you curious about where Four Echoes proceeds go? Here’s one community outreach program that’s launching today!

Courageous Kids: Stand Up to Stand Out is a week-long summer program held in the Bristol Common is Bristol, RI for children in the community. Courageous Kids encourages and reinforces the values of being a neighbor of character. The children and families of our community will experience fun-filled and enriching opportunities to practice being a good neighbor, exhibit good sportsmanship, prepare themselves to persevere through challenges, exercise self-control and understand that being courageous doesn’t mean being the best, it means being proud to be YOU.

Children will receive a meal each evening provided FREE by local eateries! The program will conclude with a family cookout provided by Just One Lunch Ministries and a family movie night on Friday evening at 7:30 open to the public.

This program is a collaboration of Town Square Partners of Stone Coast Community Church, Mount Hope Community Church and Bristol Health Equity Zone and numerous community sponsors. When you lease space at Four Echoes Vintage Shoppe, shop at our store, and donate to our cause, you are part of making a difference right in our local communities! Thank You!
