In the Community
Thundermist has a strong commitment to our community, offering services when and where they are needed. Below are just some of the ways we work with partners to enhance access to programs for patients across Rhode Island.
Farmers Markets
Working in conjunction with Farm Fresh RI, Thundermist’s Woonsocket location is host to a seasonal farmers market, which typically takes place every Tuesday 3-6 p.m. July through early October near our building at 25 John A. Cummings Way.
Farmers markets are also held in West Warwick Wednesdays 3-6 p.m. at the library at 1043 Main Street through early October. South Kingstown hosts a farmers market year round on the URI Kingston Campus at Independence Square at 25 W. Independence Way in Kingston, Rhode Island. This takes place Saturdays 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Markets are open to the community and accept WIC, senior coupons, and credit cards. EBT/SNAP is also accepted at a higher value than regular cash.
ThunderKids Community Dental Program
The Thundermist Community Dental Program uses portable dental equipment and offers on-site services in oral examinations, preventative, hygienic and restorative services and classroom-based oral health education.
A dentist and hygienist go to schools, Head Start classrooms, and after-school programs to screen children and then refer them for treatment as needed.
