Help Letter Carriers Collect Food
Donations Saturday
|
|
This Saturday, May 13, local letter carriers will be
collecting food for our neighbors in need as part of the National
Association of Letter Carriers' annual campaign to Stamp Out Hunger.
Please leave a bag of non-perishable items near your mailbox by 8:00 am.
Your letter carrier will pick it up and ensure that it gets delivered to
the Food Bank. Thanks for contributing!

Volunteer in a Local Community Garden
|
|
The Food Bank supports a network of community gardens
dedicated to growing fresh produce for Rhode Islanders in need. Located
in Charlestown, Cumberland, Smithfield and Warren, the gardens rely on
volunteers throughout the growing season. Last year, they delivered more
than 60,000 pounds of fresh produce. If interested in getting your hands
dirty and contributing to the effort, please contact one of the garden
coordinators.

Truck Stop Drives in $160,000 to Help
Food Bank
|
|
Nearly 800 people joined us late last month on a
surprisingly beautiful evening for Truck Stop: A Festival of Street Eats.
The April 28th outdoor event, which featured live music and fabulous food
from twenty local food trucks, raised $160,000 to help us distribute
healthy food to Rhode Islanders in need. Thanks for everyone who made
Truck Stop such a success. If you were in attendance, check out our
Facebook photo gallery and tag yourself in any photos.
