September is Hunger Action Month
Each September, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank observes national Hunger Action Month: a time to inform, motivate, and mobilize.
This year, it’s more important than ever. 🟧 The Food Bank is serving an average of 89,000 Rhode Islanders per month – more people than ever in our history.
Follow along this month to hear from the folks we support, see how hunger affects our state, and discover ways you can make a difference.
Food for Thought
Nutritious food is critical to health. That’s why the Food Bank sources a variety of pantry staples, fresh produce, culturally relevant foods and proteins to distribute through our member agencies.
We caught up with warehouse manager, Joe Regan, while he was loading up a truck for delivery.
“Healthy food supports wellness throughout our community,” Joe shared. “Having access to it through the Food Bank means people have more choices in what they can provide their families.”
The Food Bank is committed to prioritizing nutritious foods for distribution to our community. We’re so grateful to staff like Joe, who live our mission every day!
Founded in 1982, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank (“the Food Bank” or “RI Food Bank”) serves as the central hub for food distribution across its state-wide network of 147 member agencies, ensuring that nutritious food reaches those who need it most. Through donations, federal programs, and community partnerships, the Food Bank works to improve the quality of life for all Rhode Islanders by advancing solutions to the problem of hunger.
The RI Food Bank is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
