Diverse Chamber of Commerce and Industry National Ambassador Community Beautification Day Network Project Brings Service to Rhode Island

Multiple Cities One Purpose-

Regional Ambassadors Jessica and Peter Flood Support Beautification Efforts at Warwick Historical Cemetery

Warwick, Rhode Island — May 4, 2026 — Regional Ambassadors Jessica Flood and Peter Flood joined the Diverse Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s National Ambassador Community Beautification Day Network Project by volunteering at the historic Warwick Historical Cemetery.

Working alongside fellow volunteers and the Warwick Historical Cemetery Commission, the Floods contributed to a hands-on cleanup and preservation effort focused on restoring the beauty, dignity, and welcoming atmosphere of this important local landmark.

A Day of Service and Civic Pride

The community beautification initiative brought together ambassadors, local volunteers, and preservation supporters committed to honoring Warwick’s history while improving a shared public space. Jessica Flood, recently recognized as the 2026 National Ambassador Chair, and Peter Flood demonstrated the Chamber’s commitment to service, collaboration, and meaningful community engagement.

Key activities included:

Raking leaves: Removing seasonal debris from pathways and green spaces.

Cleaning tombstones: Carefully cleaning and helping preserve weathered grave markers in honor of Warwick’s past residents.

Replacing flowers: Planting fresh blooms to add color and renewed vitality throughout the cemetery grounds.

“We believe in giving back to the communities that support our small businesses,” said Jessica Flood. “Projects like this do more than beautify a space. They help strengthen connections among business owners, residents, volunteers, and the communities we serve.”

Supporting Warwick’s Historic Legacy

The Warwick Historical Cemetery Commission plays an essential role in preserving Rhode Island heritage through the restoration, maintenance, and documentation of more than 100 historic burial sites across Warwick. These locations range from larger established cemeteries to smaller family burial grounds, many of which date back centuries.

The Community Beautification Day Network Project aligned with the Diverse Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s mission to promote inclusivity, entrepreneurship, professional connection, and civic pride. Through the National Ambassador Committee, ambassadors have opportunities to expand their networks, increase the visibility of local businesses, and create a direct, positive impact in their communities.

Building Stronger Communities Through Service

The participation of Jessica and Peter Flood reflects the important role small-business leaders can play in local improvement efforts. Their work at Warwick Historical Cemetery helped support the ongoing care of a treasured historic site while encouraging others to take part in community service.

As the Diverse Chamber of Commerce and Industry continues to grow its nationwide Community Beautification Day Network Project, Rhode Island ambassadors are helping demonstrate that business leadership extends beyond commerce. Through service, partnership, and shared purpose, ambassadors are contributing to stronger, cleaner, and more connected communities.
