50 MILES. ONE COMMUNITY.

We want to extend a huge thank you to Doug Fingliss for partnering with us in honor of recovery month to share his powerful documentary, “Beyond the Finish Line,” with our community.

But Doug took that partnership one step further. 💚

Doug and Joe Hardin pledged to run 50 miles across the state of Rhode Island in support of Community Grove and raised an incredible $1,000 to help us in our mission.

And there is more to celebrate: Doug’s film has been selected for the 2026 Art of Recovery Film Festival! 🎬👏 Congratulations, Doug, and thank you for using your work, your passion, and your dedication to support our community.

Here’s to the power of storytelling, meaningful connections and many more miles together. We’re grateful and excited to see where the future takes us!

Additional thank yous to Erin Fingliss, Joe Hardin, Maurice Lowman, Andrew Stinson, the Kinnane Brothers, our volunteers, friends & everyone who donated to support.

One. full. year.

In October 2025, we opened the doors to Community Grove with a lot of hope, very few resources, and one big question:

Would our community show up and understand what we were trying to build?

You answered that question over and over again. You brought food, supplies, art materials, tools, donations, ideas, and your time. You volunteered. You taught each other things. You sat beside people you had never met before and reconnected with old friends. You made things together. You shared resources. You helped neighbors you may never know personally.

And somewhere along the way, this little seed we planted started to grow.

Over this first year, Community Grove has shared or helped connect neighbors with more than 700 resources and needs met, created over 1,300 moments of participation through free and low-cost community programs, and welcomed more than 30 community volunteers who have given their time, skills, and care to others.

But those numbers will never be our favorite part of this story. Our favorite moments are when someone walks through our door and tells us, “I feel so comfortable here.” When someone says, “I always feel better when I leave.”

When two people meet at an art night and when someone who first came through the door looking for support comes back wanting to help somebody else. When neighbors share what they have because another neighbor needs it. When someone teaches a skill simply because they want other people to experience something they love.

That is Community Grove.

We started with the belief that community care doesn’t have to begin with enormous budgets or perfect systems. Sometimes it begins with using what we already have, sharing what we can, and deciding that the people around us are worth showing up for.

Community Grove remains fully volunteer-run and powered by the generosity of our community. The programs, supplies, mutual aid, workshops, events, and little pieces that make this place feel like home have been possible because local people have contributed financially, donated materials, shared their talents, volunteered their time, and believed in this idea alongside us.

Every time we look around this space and see what it has become, we are reminded that we didn’t build Community Grove alone. We built it together.

These aren’t just numbers or data points.

A year ago, we planted a seed. Today, it has roots. And as we head into year two, we’re going to keep doing exactly what brought us here: growing slowly, staying rooted in Tiverton and Little Compton, listening to our neighbors, and building around what our community actually needs.

We cannot wait to see what we grow together next. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in Community Grove. Thank you for believing in each other.

Here’s to one year. And to many more!

Community care starts in the community.

🍂 Growing Through Change 🍂

Last night’s Mindful Monday with East Bay Recovery Center was all about change, growth, and the seasons we move through in life.

Using trees as our inspiration, everyone created their own reflection on where they’ve been, where they are now, and what they’re growing toward. Some trees had deep roots, some were changing with the seasons, and some were still figuring out what comes next, just like us. One of our favorite reminders from the night: change doesn’t always mean losing something. Sometimes it means making room for what’s next.

Thank you to everyone who came, created, shared, and spent the evening in community with us. 🌳🍁 and a big thank you to Andrew, Amber & Sarah from East Bay Recovery Center! EBCAP

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Beyond the Finish Line film screening last night! ❤️

A very special thank you to our panelists Doug, Andrew Stinson, CPRS, and Maurice Lowman for sharing their own stories and perspectives with us. Together, we had such a meaningful conversation about the importance of sharing our stories in recovery, the power of community and connection, and how we can better support one another right here in our town.

Doug’s story is one of so many that deserve to be shared - especially the stories and voices from right here in our own community. As anyone in recovery will tell you, we share our stories because we never know who might need to hear them. Sometimes, someone else’s story is the reminder that change is possible and that there is still hope.

And a special shoutout to all the people who helped make this screening come together! From planning and organizing to showing up and supporting the night, we couldn’t have done it without you.

We are so thankful for and so proud of the community we get to call home and the incredible people within it.

Community Grove will always be here as a safe place to connect, be heard, find support, and belong. 🌱❤️
