The best non-profit in RI! Deb, is very caring and accessible to people who need help. This great organization really does streamline assistance when people cannot wait for the bureaucratic red tape to get finally processed…by then it is too late. This organization provides food, clothing, medical devices and any other services they can provide. This is all made possible by the this organization’s efforts and donations.

I have known Deb who runs the non-profit organization. The name of this organization Angels in Action RI has tirelessly helped the unprivileged and those in need. One cause I love is they adopt numerous children for Xmas who wouldn’t be able to enjoy or receive presents. This makes my heart satisfied and this is what Xmas is all about. This is just one of the numerous events/causes that this organization undertakes each year for those less fortunate than us.

I can't say enough about this organization or its administrator. She has done so much for people in need, from providing holiday meals, Christmas gifts for families, providing school supplies (new clothes and backpacks) to children and teens in need, to searching for a bed or crib, diapers and baby food. Deb Roffo has created a great community network and works tirelessly to see that everyday needs are met, and holidays are special. With costs rising so drastically, we hope and pray her work continues to be possible.

I have known Deb since I was a child. Fast forward to now I work as a nurse Case manage and my families have utilized Angel in action a bunch of times. It’s nice for families to be able to purchase name brand clothes and sneakers at a discount price. Her Christmas adopt a family program has also been beyond helpful for working families that truly can’t afford a nice family. I have donated time wrapping gifts/books at a book store to raise money, I have also donated money towards Christmas and been on the giving end to those families in need. It’s important to know that Collected toys and money always go to working families. Deb and her team of volunteers are always working hard.

I have assisted as a volunteer when I can for the past 5 years or so. I have never seen someone more dedicated to helping her community that Deb at Angel In Action! She is truly an Angel to our community! Deb organizes adopt a child programs during Christmas, helping hundreds of kids a year, organizes food baskets for holidays, helps families with clothing and school supplies. I have never seen her turn anyone away and I have seen her take from her own pocket when Angel In Action couldn’t help for some reason.

Hi There. I've known Deb for a few years now. She is a kind, caring. Compassionate, and Empathetic Woman. I am a recipient of her help along with her volunteers.1 year My husband and I were in need of a clothes dryer. We could not afford one. Deb went out of her way to find one for us. She also helped me make 1 of husband's last wishes come true. He always wanted a man cave. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer which metastasized to all over his liver. My husband Gary was forced to take early retirement and that decreased our income drastically. My husband Gary passed away in May of 2021. I am forever grateful that Deb and her organization could help me make his wish come true. We've also received Thanksgiving baskets and Deb and her organization have provided Christmas gifts for our grandchildren with her Christmas adopt a child program. She and her husband have also given us food. Deb and Angel in action help hardworking families that are in need due to them not meeting the guidelines for extra help. Deb and her volunteers are wonderful and I am blessed to call Deb my friend. Deb Thank you for all you've done for me and my family. This world is a better place because of you and your organization. Love you Deb!!!

I found this organization on Facebook when I was looking for volunteer hours with my high school student. What drew me to work with Angel in Action is Deb's goal to assist people who don't qualify or receive Federal Assistance but just need something to get through a rough patch. When we were a young new family and lost an income, we didn't qualify for Fed Assistance by only a few hundred dollars a year and was in that exact position years ago, so I can relate to the demographic she's trying to help. They don't get a lot of media attention because it's a one woman show and she can only do so much. Truly an inspiring example of one person wanting to make a difference in the world and making it a reality.

This is the first organization I have seen in RI that honestly helps those who work hard but still fall on hard times - not those who wait around for a free ride. Debbie is so organized and ensures that kids are not missed at Christmas, are able to go back to school in trendy, stylish, current clothing and not be teased, helps families have a wonderful meal at Thanksgiving and assists others with special requirements. This is a group with caring, compassionate volunteers and worthy of time and attention.

This is an amazing organization started by a wonderful woman and assisted by great volunteers. I love that the working "needy" are helped when they are usually overlooked by society and social services. In 2018 over 100 children were given bright Christmases because so many volunteers stepped up to ensure they had gifts under their trees. I love helping Angel In Action!

Angel in Action RI is an amazing organization run by an absolutely selfless woman who has dedicated her life to helping those in need. Deb Roffo, the President and founder of Angel in Action RI has continued her mother's example with random acts of kindness. Her goal is to make a difference in the community and those who may have fallen on hard times. Some of the events sponsored by this amazing organization include but are not limited to: Thanksgiving & Christmas adoptions and baskets, food drives, offers of gently used furniture for the needy, new shoes for young adults bullied in school and Angel's Closet which offers clothing to the needy. Whoever contacts their organization, AIA RI is willing to help out. Find a plumber for an elderly woman looking for some plumbing repairs in her home, no problem. Install a walkway for a disabled woman, no problem. Donate a scooter to a disabled man who was unable to leave his home, piece of cake. Purchase an iPad for a disabled young man. Well you get the idea! My husband and I have personally attended a Hometown BBQ fundraiser to purchase school supplies for underprivileged kids. Once the event was over, Deb phoned the local food panty and offered them the left over food. Of course, they could only take things that would last a few days so Deb wound up taking the remaining food stuffs to a Senior Center. I can't think of any organization who deserve the honor of being the #1 Non-Profit in RI more. I know Angel in Action RI gets my vote! How about you?

Angel in Action aptly named. Deb Roffo is an Angel to our neighborhoods. The compassion she shows to the youth and families in our area in wondrous! This is a picture of Deb at Kohl's buying name brand sneakers and tee shirts so her community teens feel as though they fit in with the rest of the student body. Teens are often shunned and bullied because they cannot afford name brands. This is just one example of Angels in Action helping the community who may not be as fortunate as some of us. This was a grant from The Coventry/West Greenwich Elks. We turned $850.00 into $1400 worth of clothing with sales, discounts and "Kohl's Bucks". Keep up the good work, Deb!

Getting high quality name brand sneakers in exchange for a small donation helped get through back to school season without going without other essentials.

Angle in Action R.I. is a wonderful group led by Debra Shipley Roffo with a mission statement of “Support to those less fortunate”! Many charitable groups show up during the Holidays with gifts and food baskets for those families that have fallen on hard times and they also are greatly appreciated for their generosity. Angle in Action is there year-round, 24 / 7, with no gap in coverage as there is need year-round. I personally have had the honor of delivering Holiday baskets to families in need. The humble tear in the eye of these grateful families is heartwarming to say the least. This group of dedicated people are and always will be the foundation of generosity and genuine love for the least of our sisters and brothers.

I first heard of Angel in Action last year and was very impressed by what I read about their mission and inspiration. At Christmastime, they host an “adopt a child” which aims to provide local children with holiday gifts. I love that AIA recognizes that many children, from families who may not qualify for any type of “assistance” program, are still in need of help from their community and they aim to provide that help whenever possible. The sheer volume of what AIA and its founder, Debra, manages to do is why I’ve made it a priority to help them out whenever and however possible.

Angel In Action RI with the leadership of Deb Roffo and its great group of volunteers helps support children, adults and seniors who have experienced unforeseen life events.

Angel In Action RI raises funds in order to provide, necessary provisions to assist and support these individuals.

In 2018 Debra opened what she calls Angel's Closet, where she provides needed clothing for Children, teens, men and woman at discounted prices. This is where children and teens come to get designer close to fit in with their peers. Men and woman can shop to stay in the work place. People who have suffered a disaster can find household products, clothing, body products at no cost to them.

With Debra's great organizational skills and her volunteers at Angel In Action RI we provide Thanksgiving meals to those hardworking people in need.

At Christmas time the organization helps for-fill a child's dream by getting everything on a child's wish list. Many hard working parents cannot give their children Christmas presents and we make it possible.

I enjoy working with a great group of people for such a worthy cause.

I am so thankful for the help I received from Debra Shipley Roffo, Angel in Action, I am raising my 3 grandchildren on a fixed income and was having a hard time getting them ready for school this year. I got in touch with Debra and set up an appt for the twins to shop, Mariah was so happy to get brand new Adidas sneakers it was the brand she wanted but I couldn’t afford, she also got new socks and a couple of T-shirts, if not for Angel in Action she wouldn’t have had new sneakers for the first day of school and we know how mean other kids can be so this help made her first day back to school so much more pleasant ! This was my experience, but I have read many good things that Angels in Action have done for family’s in West Warwick, from helping fire victims with clothing,gift cards, motel rooms, to helping family’s with Christmas, I think Angel in Action is amazing!!

Angel In Action is a great non-profit that works hard to help those who make too much to qualify for aid through other organizations but are barely making it paycheck to paycheck. I have volunteered and benefited from Angel In Action. There was a point where I wasn’t working and my husband’s job cut hours. Unfortunately, we didn’t qualify for state aid. Angel In Action stepped in and help relieve our grocery bill right around the holidays. Even just that slightest help allowed us to pay bills I don’t know how else we would have. They are an amazing organization.

Angel In Action truly works to reach those that need it the most, working families having a medical emergency at the same time as school starts or having a car break down when the rent is due. Angel’s Closet, a part of Angel in Action, provides teens with a place to shop for brand name clothing and shoes at very low prices. This organization is one that I know will continue to serve our community well in many years to come, I highly recommend Angel In Action to anyone in the West Warwick and Coventry area needing assistance or help finding where to go when in need.

Angels in Action is a great organization that helps working families that just might need a little extra help at times! It is so comforting to know that these hard working families have a place to go for help when times get a little tough!!! There are many charities that give to those who don’t work but Angels in Action helps those who do!!!

My experience with Angel's in Action was wonderful. As a local DJ, I volunteered my time for a fundraiser that helped school age children get school clothes and supplies. As I stood on the stage playing my music and interacted with goers I watched as many firefighters and police officers competed on a mechanical bull for the cause and it amazed me on how many people could support such a wonderful cause. I had reached out to deb to volunteer my time because I know what it's like to be a child and struggle to have what I need for school. For what Deb and Angel's in action does for so many people is amazing. I truly wish there were more people like deb. This organization helps so many people when they need it and I give upmost praise to deb and everyone who makes this wonderful organization what it is

Angel in Action is run by a wonderful, kindhearted women.

She helps people who have lost everything from a fire, needs specialized equipment clothing, sneakers, holiday food baskets, holiday gifts, and soliders that have been deployed etc..

She adopted over 100 children Christmas 2018 and her volunteers helped give them gifts they dreamed of.

This school year she had fundraisers so she could buy name brand sneakers for school children and clothing to help them from being bullied.

She has collected gowns and donated them to students in the community and girls in a residential group home.

Deb has a big heart and more people should follow her lead.

I've contacted Deb at Angel in Action several times for families I knew that needed help at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Deb was wonderful in helping them out.

She also has helped some teens I know of with prom dresses. She donated 15 dresses for the girls to have a wonderful prom.

Deb is a lovely lady who cares about people.

My family was in a true bind this Thanksgiving. I was out of work due to a reoccurance of breast cancer (3rd time) and had just had a double radical mastectomy. I had NO income coming in at all, just enough for the bills. Angel in Action came through for my family and I with a COMPLETE turkey dinner. Without the organization my family and I would have had our own Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

Angel in Action also helped a few families near and dear to me not only this season but last season as well!

It is great to finally have someone who is willing (and sees the need) to help the WORKING CLASS PEOPLE.

Way to go ANGEL IN ACTION

With Deb at the helm, and her angels along side, they have accomplished more than most organizations in a such short time in existance. Deb has such a caring and genuine heart for everyone she serves. Lives have been changed by the acts of kindness towards many people in the community. Hats off to Angels in Action RI !!

It’s always a great thing to help others but it’s just as important to help responseably. Angel in Action is just that helping people who need it most-people who just need a nudge over a hurdle -not making a career off of other people’s generosity! I can’t give much money but I can give something just as important-time, skills, and a helping hand!

With, my Husband out of work due to him having Stage 4 colorectal cancer and having on going chemotherapy treatments, and his TDI benefits exhausted. We didn't have the funds to purchase another one. I was going back in forth to the laundromat for a little while but, that gets costly . Deb reached out to her Organization of Angels and She was able to find US a Clothes Dryer. Also, this past Thanksgiving We were blessed with a Beautiful Holiday Basket Filled With A Turkey , all the Fixings, and pie for Dessert too.

I met Deb a few months ago when I was trying to donate through Facebook a pair of new steel toe boots. I wasn't looking to swap I wasn't looking to give it to a family who just was too lazy to go out and buy a new pair; or didn't feel like spending the extra money. I wanted to give it to someone who really could use it. Deb immediately contacted me and asked if I was willing to donate to angel in action. After speaking with Deb and realizing what she does, my family and I immediately knew we had to get involved. It's like Deb has a mission in life to help people in need. Despite her full-time job and personal life every time I text her or Facebook her to ask her a question she always answers me back immediately. She wears a ton of hats and is so organized about it. She really is a remarkable woman who has done an amazing job! My family and I are so happy that we are able to help Deb and all the other amazing angels on her team.

When my elderly uncle was discharged from the hospital, he was weak and alone, and not eating well. Living out-of-state, I was unable to help him at the time, and it was so frustrating. We were trying to arrange Meals on Wheels for him, but it wasn't happening. Deb personally visited with him numerous times, brought him food, and made arrangements for food for him until he was feeling stronger. (I think my sweet uncle fell in love!) Her kindness to my uncle was overwhelming. I am thankful for all that Deb does to help the people in her community. Angel in Action is an outstanding organization.

Angel in Action went above and beyond for my family. The very day my home burned down Debra reached out to my family personally. The firemen told me Red Cross would help us within 24 hours but they used the snow as an excuse to not contact me for almost 5 days. The snow was not a concern for Deb though because within hours she was personally reaching out to the community. She was all over social media and collecting donations all over Rhode Island. Her vast network of kind hearted and generous souls are the main reason my family was able to have clothes, toys, and food. Deb has truly helped us get back on our feet without her I’d be a scrambling mess. She also is the only one that has directed me to a community center that could help my husband and I get into a home faster for my kids. Deb and all those a part of Angel in Action, you have been a literal God send and my family and I can’t thank you enough.

Angel in Action saved us. Literally. We had a house fire and lost almost everything. My daughter at the time was 2 months old and my son was 6 years. She brought us so much to help us through our hard times and checked in on us so much it was incredible. She saved us. She made it easier to deal with. Even helped with a childcare place to take my daughter while I had to enter my old house and take out the last surviving items. Angel in action for sure

Angel in Action RI is a nonprofit Debra started in order to help people who encounter problems such as sickness, loss of job, house fires, etc. — usually working people who need a hand because they usually don’t qualify for public assistance. I first became acquainted with Angel in Action RI through its Facebook page, and I was very impressed with Debra’s passion and drive to find out what people need and then find a way to obtain and deliver it to them, whether it be food, baby formula, clothes, and so much more. I decided that this was the type of nonprofit I would be proud to support and was happy to help out with a contribution towards Christmas food baskets. More recently, I joined other volunteers baking and selling goodies at a bake sale. It’s a great feeling — people helping people through acts of kindness!

Angels in Action RI was founded by Debra. I have only met her once whenn she came to my house for donations for a family displaced by fire. Her energy, and high spirited compassion and friendliness makes you feel like you have known her forever. Debra works tirelessly to help anyone, anytime, day or night, for a variety of reasons.. it doesn't matter if it's a homeless person, a fire victim, teens who can't afford prom dresses, furniture, clothes, etc.
