January Resources & Action 📄

Latest Tools for Neighbors & Community Partners

The Rhode Island Community Food Bank‘s Community Outreach and Community Nutrition teams regularly develop vetted, reliable resources to support neighbors and our partner organizations that serve them.

This month, our teams released two timely tools to support financial stability and long-term health. With tax season right around the corner, our Community Outreach team created a 2025 tax preparation guide featuring free filing options, trusted assistance programs, and key dates. With heart health top of mind this winter, our Community Nutrition team developed an easy-to-use handout on dietary fats, offering tips to reduce saturated fat intake and support cardiovascular wellness. Both resources are available in English and Spanish.

All are encouraged to use and share these resources! Visit our Community Resources and Community Nutrition webpages to view or download the latest materials.
