People instructed to call town's coronavirus hotline

Posted

Help is available for residents in need. Any Barrington residents facing an emergency and needing food should call the Town of Barrington's coronavirus hotline at 401-247-1900 ext. 384.

Arrangements will be made to provide groceries to families that need them.

The assistance comes at a crucial time when many families may be facing financial challenges associated with the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile, the non-profit organization Tap-In (Touch A Person In Need) which offers food and other necessities to East Bay residents in need, will be closed from April 6 to 17 while they relocate from the ground floor of the Peck Center building to the Barrington Presbyterian Church. Tap-In offices are scheduled for renovation over the next few months.
