Community Resources

The Food Bank’s Community Resource team researches and compiles user-friendly, reliable information for our member agencies, their guests, and the general public. Below is a collection of vetted resources designed to improve the quality of life for individuals and families across Rhode Island.

Not sure who to contact? United Way of Rhode Island‘s 24-hour 2-1-1 hotline is a great place to start. Call by dialing 2-1-1, or visit their website to chat with a representative.

Community Resources

Food Bank member agencies can request outreach visits and training on ways to effectively use these materials and make quality referrals. With minimal training on these resources, member agencies will have the basic ability to assist clients in those critical moments when their needs are immediate and pressing.

To learn more about outreach training or to set-up a visit, email Lihna Agostini, Director of Community Outreach at lagostini@rifoodbank.org.
