Family Back to School Resources
With summer winding down, our Community Outreach team has put together some education resources that may be helpful to you and your family as we enter the season of homework and school lunches! Resources include: free backpack distributions and resource fairs; information on free or reduced school lunch; support from the RI Department of Education; tutoring programs; and more.
At the Food Bank, we believe that no one is “just hungry.” That’s why each month, our Community Outreach team compiles reliable, vetted resources on topics relevant to our communities, in both English and Spanish, to pass along to member agencies and community partners. The Outreach Team also assists our pantry guests in accessing important resources like SNAP, community legal services, and more.
