Empowering Change: Project Weber/RENEW Secures $106,900 Grant to Expand Life-Saving Services

Project Weber/RENEW is thrilled to announce the successful completion of our latest funding round, having raised $106,900 to further our mission of supporting Rhode Islanders challenged by drug use, sex work, and HIV-related issues. As a peer-based harm reduction and recovery services organization, Project Weber/RENEW has been at the forefront of providing essential services such as overdose and HIV prevention, street outreach, case management, and basic needs support to individuals in our community who are often marginalized and underserved. This funding will be a catalyst for expanding our existing programs while innovating new approaches that directly address the evolving needs of those at risk for, or living with, HIV and substance-related challenges. With every donation fueling the vital work we do—from distributing life-saving naloxone kits to offering comprehensive support and guidance—the funds raised will enable us to increase both the scale and reach of our services. We are committed to strategic investments that improve access to health care, provide safe spaces for conversation and recovery, and nurture the resilience of our peers who lead the charge in harm reduction. The generosity of our supporters not only underscores the community’s belief in our approach but also energizes our team to push the boundaries of what is possible in community health and well-being. Moving forward, Project Weber/RENEW will continue to advocate for and develop innovative initiatives that empower individuals to reclaim their lives while affirming their dignity and humanity, fulfilling our promise to leave no one behind in the journey towards recovery and care.
