Coats will benefit local organizations including Lucy's Hearth, the Salvation Army, Newport Mental Health, MLK Community Center, and Island Oasis Pantry, as well as individuals experiencing homelessness.
Collection boxes are located at the Newport County YMCA, Middletown Public Library, Middletown Town Hall, Wickford Appliance, Eye Care for Rhode Island, and BankNewport branches in Middletown and Newport.

Hello Middletown Patch!
On November 1, 2026, my father, Drew McEnroe, and I (Regan McEnroe) will be running in the NYC&nbsp;Marathon for the Alzheimer's Association!&nbsp; We are so excited to be participating in this race, and even more so to be raising funds and awareness for a cause that is very near and dear to our hearts. 
Our grandmother/mother, Rita McEnroe, suffered from Alzheimer's Disease. My family, like so many others, was devastated as we watched this disease consume Rita, ultimately turning her into someone we no longer recognized. However, we are not alone. So many families are touched by this disease, each with their own story and sadness. We are running this race to honor all of the loved ones who suffered and currently suffer from this absolutely horrible disease. 
We are also running to support everyone out there who may be caring for someone with Alzheimer's Disease.&nbsp; Caregiving can feel incredibly isolating and often caregivers are unsure where and who to turn to in times of need. Alzheimer’s Disease continues to touch the lives of more and more families each year, but with an aging population and a dwindling long-term care workforce, we will be hard-pressed to ensure that all those who suffer receive the care they deserve.&nbsp; We know how important it is to raise awareness about the resources that these caregivers can access, and that is part of our mission as well.&nbsp;
We are committed to raising $10,000 to support efforts that strengthen the long-term care workforce and advance research for this disease in hopes of one day finding a cure. &nbsp;We are so appreciative of all the support we have and continue to receive from family, friends, and community members. We are turning to our fellow Middletown residents to support this cause and help in the fight against Alzheimer's. 
This is a link to our fundraising page:&nbsp;<a href="https://events.alz.org/fundraisers/mcenroe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://events.alz.org/fundraisers/mcenroe</a>&nbsp;On it you will see a picture of Rita as we choose to remember her, always with a smile on her face.&nbsp;
We really appreciate you taking the time to review our story and consider making a donation to our cause. While raising the money is a top priority, we also think it is equally important to spread awareness, and we are just as happy to be getting our message out there.&nbsp;
Thank You!

Middletown, R.I. — Middletown residents can expect a visit from a St. George’s School student on Saturday, Nov. 7, as part of the 42nd Annual Feed-a-Friend Food Drive.


All 400 students from the private school, along with parents and faculty members, will travel throughout local neighborhoods to collect canned items and dry goods to help stock the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center’s food pantry. Middletown residents can expect a visit between 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., and may leave items in a bag marked “Feed-a-Friend” ready for pickup on front steps or next to mailboxes.

Food from the drive allows the MLK Center to make up hundreds of holiday baskets distributed during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. Some of the items especially requested this year include: canned or boxed potatoes, boxed stuffing, cranberry sauce, yams, gravy, canned peas, and beans.

Last year, St. George’s School volunteers collected 3,000 bags of food from generous neighbors, along with cash donations of nearly $2,000. This year, the students have distributed 4,000 bags to nearby homes ahead of the drive.

For more information, please contact St. George’s School Service Coordinator Audrey Lamou at (401) 847-7565 or <a href="mailto:service@stgeorges.edu">service@stgeorges.edu.</a>
