RIPTA Buses Now Promoting the Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island License Plate

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island (HHCRI) announced today that buses from the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) fleet have begun promoting HHCRI’s specially designed charity license plate.  A significant portion of the proceeds from the sale of each license plate are donated to HHCRI, which has been a leader in hospice and palliative care for more than three decades.   

The Rhode Island General Assembly gave approval for the creation of a special HHCRI charity license plate in 2013, which the organization began selling to employees and supporters earlier this year.  The plate is designed with an authentic Rhode Island theme, featuring the ‘anchor of hope’ from the state flag, an ocean backdrop, and two seagulls flying high above the water.  The words “Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island” are also prominently featured above the plate number.

The RIPTA campaign is part of a larger effort to encourage more individuals, who recognize the value hospice and palliative care services can have, to show their support for HHCRI on the roads.

“As one of the oldest hospice providers in the nation, we have helped care for thousands of patients and families over the years when it mattered most,” said Charles P. Iacono, HHCRI’s vice president of philanthropy. “This license plate is a unique way for individuals to help honor the loved ones we have cared for and to help HHCRI carry out its mission.”     

The cost for these uniquely Rhode Island themed plates are only $41.50, with $20 of each registration going directly to the mission and work of HHCRI.  Anyone with a Rhode Island registration can request these plates for their currently registered vehicle or when registering a new vehicle in Rhode Island.

Individuals interested in purchasing the HHCRI license plate are encouraged to visit www.hhcri.org to download and complete the HHCRI license plate registration form or call the HHCRI philanthropy department at 401-415-4206.
