Who We Serve
- 66% of households that visit food pantries include a child (0-17 yrs old) or senior (65+ yrs old)
- 45% of respondents report being in poor or fair health (as opposed to good, very good, or excellent)
- 69% of households with children have an employed adult yet 89% live below the poverty line
- 75% of respondents are enrolled in SNAP (which the USDA plans to cut, leaving 11,000 Rhode Islanders without food assistance including 5,000 children)
*Data from the 2019 Hunger Survey, a collaborative effort between the Rhode Island Community Food Bank and the Hassenfeld Child Health Innovation Institute at Brown University, identifying demographic details of households impacted by hunger in Rhode Island.
