Support that Endures
The generous support we receive during Hunger Action Month and throughout the year helps ensure that our shelves are stocked with healthy, nutritious food for the 87,000 Rhode Islanders who visit our network of pantries every month. We’re so grateful to everyone who helps make this possible.
There’s another meaningful way to support our work, with an impact that lasts all year long. By becoming a monthly donor through our Sustainers Harvest program, you help ensure that the Food Bank can be there for Rhode Islanders through challenging times, just as we were last fall. You can choose any monthly amount, and your gift will be charged automatically, making it an easy, ongoing way to make a difference.
