BAM invites each of our visitors to help us decorate our Holiday Mitten Tree, on display at the Museum from November 30th - December 21st, 2018. We are collecting contributions of new or gently-used winter accessories like hats, mittens, gloves, warm socks, scarves, ear-muffs, and other small items. We will also accept larger items, like thermal clothing or winter jackets, in our onsite donation bin. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and help to improve the lives of Rhode Islanders in need. 

Our galleries are open from Thursday - Sunday from 1-4 PM. Arrangements can be made to accommodate donations outside of our open hours. Please call 401-253-4400 with questions or to schedule a drop-off.

All donations will benefit Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides programs and services to immigrants, refugees, and those looking to overcome cultural, educational, economic, and language barriers. Dorcas International has worked to empower newcomers for nearly 100 years now and strives to create a welcoming environment for all who come to settle here in the Ocean State.
