There’s still time to show up for food security in Rhode Island.
Tuesday, April 28 is coming up fast, and we’re still looking for friends of the Food Bank to show their support at the Rhode Island State House! If you’ve been wanting to get involved, this is an excellent opportunity to volunteer for a good cause.
Here’s what you need to know: State legislators are considering $3 million in additional funding to help feed Rhode Island neighbors, but they need to hear from their constituents that this is a priority. That’s where you come in.
Join us this Tuesday, April 28 at 3:30 PM at the State House to speak directly with your legislators. We’ll be there to greet you, direct you to the Chambers, and provide talking points so you feel prepared. No experience necessary!
TIP: If you’re driving, plan ahead to find street parking. Consider carpooling with a friend or taking public transit.
Learn more, read the legislation, and email your legislators on our website.
