“We are so grateful to be chosen as the Collette Foundation 2014 Charity of the Year,” said Adrienne Marchetti, executive director of the Pawtucket Soup Kitchen. “The funding and volunteer efforts by Collette Foundation will make what we do a lot easier. Being named as their 2014 charity … was unexpected yet wonderful news! We look forward to working with the Collette team throughout the year.”
