The North American Family Institute's Oak/Ridge Program is holding our First Annual Project Turkey 5k run/walk. The North American Family Institute (NAFI) has been operating a network of residential and non-residential treatment programs in Rhode Island since 1989. The network includes both juvenile justice and behavioral health programs, and has a long history of success in serving clients in the least restrictive environments. The NAFI Oak/Ridge Program is a residential treatment facility for adolescent males a variety of mental health needs. 

Funds raised from the 5k run/walk will go towards supporting NAFI's Project Turkey initiative, which provides meals to needy families for Thanksgiving. This fundraising process also enables the residents of the Oak/Ridge Program to learn the value of being active community members through charitable giving.
