"We go to food pantries.  They're the only way my kids can eat."
-Susan, food pantry client

Community Meeting Space

Since moving to our current facility in November of 2003, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank has been making meeting space available to our community partners.

The Food Bank features available meeting space in our Community Room and Board Room. The Community Room is our most versatile space and is equipped with a ceiling-mounted projector, motorized screen, computer hook-ups, VCR, DVD and Audio capabilities. We can accommodate groups up to approximately 30-40 people using a Discussion-style formate. This arrangement utilizes a cluster of tables to create a large, open square for face-to-face discussion and individual workspace.

In exchange for utilizing any of our meeting space, all the Food Bank requires is for the group to take a tour of our facility to learn more about who we are and what we do. Meeting space is available Monday through Friday between the business hours of 8am and 5pm.

The Community Room is available on a first come, first serve basis and must be reserved in advance. Guests may bring food and beverages for their meetings. Catering options in the area include:

Basil's Pizza: 946-4470
Mr. Peabody's: 941-2258

We are pleased to have had the opportunity to host over 100 corporate, community, civic and non-profit groups in our Community Room and hope that you will think of utilizing the Food Bank for your group’s next meeting. For more information or to inquire about reserving the Community Room, please contact Michael Cerio at (401) 942-6325 ext. 213 or via email.
