The Hive RI

05/14/2026

🐝 One of the things we love most about The Hive RI and the broader Mill at Lafayette community is the way our tenants continuously show up to support and care for others.

Now through June 17th, our community member/tenant Edward Jones is hosting a Food Drive, and we’d love to help spread the word and encourage support!

If you’re able, please consider donating and helping support neighbors and families in need. Every contribution makes a difference. 💛

Thank you to the Edward Jones team for leading this effort and helping strengthen our community in meaningful ways. ***Their office is around back and two doors to the right of The Hive!

✨There’s something really special about spaces that are built on relationships.

Wednesday night’s Business After Hours with the Southern RI Chamber was one of those moments that just felt… good.

We’ve been part of this Chamber community since we opened The Hive in 2013 (fun fact: I (Tuni) even served on the Board for a time prior to 2013!), and what’s always stood out is how genuinely member-focused and authentic it is.

It’s never felt transactional.
It’s always been about connection.

Every time I go, I see familiar faces - people I’ve known for years - and meet new, interesting, thoughtful people doing meaningful work.

This week was no different.

I was there as part of the Grants New England team (one of our amazing community members at the Mill at Lafayette 💜)… and Phil even walked away with an awesome raffle basket!

Grateful for spaces like this — and for the people who continue to show up and make them what they are.

Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights has been a Hive member for years & we highly recommend them! I'm sure many of you out there might need some help!

Ice dams? Pinnacle Roofing can help! We will remove the snow and ice off your roof and inspect for damages that may need to be repaired.

☕✨ Community, Connection, and Coffee at The Hive RI! ✨☕

We had such a great turnout for September’s Last Friday Coffee! 💛 It was wonderful to reconnect with longtime Mill members, welcome some we haven’t seen in a while, and even meet someone brand new.

This month, we were excited to feature Waypoint Sanctuary & Wellness Center. Greg Casey, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Daoist Priest (DaoShi), and teacher of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Wudang Kung Fu & Daoist Meditation, shared about the incredible work happening right here in Rhode Island. 🌿

Events like these remind us how special our Hive + Mill community truly is — where collaboration, wellness, and connection meet.

📅 Mark your calendars for our next Last Friday Coffee — you never know who you’ll meet or what you’ll learn over a cup of coffee!
