The Rhode Island Community Food Bank invites the public to learn about the problem of hunger in our state and the ways in which the Food Bank works with the community to help provide assistance to those in need. At the center of this effort is our 66,000 square-foot facility on Niantic Avenue. Through the efficient use of our facility, we are able to increase our output and available services to our member agencies. We invite you to tour our facility to learn more about our work.  For scheduling or more information, contact Michael Cerio at (401) 942-6325 ext. 213.
