COMMUNITY HEALTH
Our Community Health Workers are experts in navigating resources, government assistance, and providing one-on-one support to individuals and families, helping to move them from crisis to stability.
Give Help
There are several ways to help us in our mission to provide basic needs, resources and hope to our neighbors in need.
INVEST IN US
Financial gifts give us the best bang for our buck as we can purchase food from the RI Community Food Bank and other wholesalers. Financial gifts ensure we can purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and proteins not otherwise available through donations. Every gift has an impact, no matter how big or small.
DONATE FOOD
We accept non-perishable food donations at our facility at 22 Kersey Road in Peace Dale. Simply pull up to the porch and drop your donations in the bin. If you are organizing a food drive, please contact us to coordinate the drop-off.
YOUTH CENTER
Renovations are underway at the future Jonnycake Youth Center and we hope to officially open March 2025.
VOLUNTEER
Volunteers serve our food pantry visitors, deliver groceries to homebound households, prepare tax returns, and tutor students. We cannot accommodate groups or youth at this time. Please see off-site opportunities to learn more about how to get involved.
50 Ways to Help
Click the link to learn more about how to get involved in helping our neighbors in need off-site as space inside our facility is limited.
Please note that we are no longer able to accept individuals who need to complete court-ordered community service.
Holiday Help
The Center welcomes donations of gift cards, winter clothing, and toys to support our Hope for the Holidays gift program, serving approximately 500 local children and teens. Monetary donations will be put toward the purchase of new jackets, pajamas, and other essentials.
