🐾🚔 A little community spirit on Federal Hill!

Anything for the pups! The PPD was happy to join in her video to help support a great cause! Half of the funds raised will benefit an animal rescue shelter, with the other half going to the Fraternal Order of Police.

We’re always glad to support the people and organizations making a difference in our community!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by! We’re grateful for opportunities like these to connect, listen, and strengthen the relationships that make our community stronger. 💙

Such a great day!

A stolen bike may seem like a small thing to some, but for one 12-year-old Providence boy, it was a big loss.
