In January, the Food Bank brought Food Insecurity Awareness Day to the Rhode Island State House to announce our policy priorities for 2025 and highlight the actions our State leadership can take to address the issue.
The Food Bank’s 2025 legislative priorities include:
- Maintaining State funding for the Food Bank at least at the current $800,000, enabling us to continue to distribute food to nearly 85,000 people a month.
- Passing a Healthy School Meals for All bill that will provide free breakfast and lunch to all of Rhode Island’s public school students.
- Protect SNAP and WIC benefits from federal cuts. These nutrition programs are critical to the health and food security of low-income Rhode Islanders.
