This spring, the Food Bank marked a dire milestone, serving more people than ever before in its 43-year history.
On average, our member agencies serve 89,000 people a month through our network of pantries and programs.
Rhode Islanders are feeling the pressure of increased costs of living, including housing, food, utilities, and other expenses.
Meanwhile, the Food Bank is working hard to meet challenges of its own. Cuts to programs like TEFAP have meant trucks of valuable proteins bound for the Food bank were cancelled. And rising food costs have affected our ability to source food too.
Though the situation is difficult, the Food Bank remains committed to providing as much culturally relevant, healthy food as possible to our member agencies at no cost to them.
