Give Help

We are strongest when we work together to help those in need. We are a better community when we work for the common good. Here are a few of the many ways you can be part of the solution to ending hunger and poverty in our community.

Invest In Us

Financial gifts allow us the flexibility to purchase food and other basic needs.

DONATE

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.

We are currently not accepting volunteer applications at this time. We apologize.

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 below for additional off-site opportunities.

Families and children, students, businesses, faith-based and civic groups

Explore a host of ways that you can support our work off site as space inside our facility is limited.

Court-ordered community service

We are not able to accept individuals who need to complete court-ordered community service.

In addition to food, we accept children’s books, cookbooks, holiday gifts, and more.

Food Donations

We accept non-perishable food donations at our new 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.
