Louie's Place

Youth programs at South Providence Neighborhood Ministries were named "Louie's Place" in honor of Louis Feinstein, the father of Alan Shawn Feinstein, in 1991. In exchange, The Feinstein Foundation provides a monthly grant of $500 to Louie's Place perpetually. The Feinstein Foundation also provides financial assistance to nonprofit organizations helping the needy. Please see www.feinsteinfoundation.org for additional information.
