We are so grateful to our friends at the US Postal Service AND to neighbors who donated! The #StampOutHunger food drive brought nearly 16,000 pounds of food to the Food Bank, with even more going directly to our member agencies. We greatly appreciate the effort and support!

A strong SNAP program doesn’t just help individuals — it strengthens entire communities. When families have enough to eat, we all thrive. Thank you to Senator Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse for working to #ProtectSNAP. bit.ly/3RIejty

We are so grateful to K. Joseph Shekarchi and the Rhode Island House of Representatives for voting to increase the Food Bank's funding in the FY26 budget. At a time when food insecurity in RI is higher than ever and we're serving a record #, this funding is critical. Thank you for your support and leadership.

With food prices up & food banks seeing rising demand, we’ve got to enact bipartisan solutions. Teaming up w/ Senator Jim Justice to boost food security by planting seeds of economic development for local farmers & fishermen.
