Take a Virtual Tour of the Food Bank
At the Food Bank, we love to have visitors in our facility so they can
learn more about our operations. Often they are amazed by the scale and
efficiency of our efforts. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we have been
unable to welcome guests as we adhere to strict social distancing
guidelines. But, until we can have visitors again, we're pleased to
offer a virtual tour so you can see the critical work that your support
makes possible.

Serving Meals For Kids
When COVID-19 closed schools, 52,000 Rhode Island children stopped
receiving free or reduced-price school lunches. The Food Bank responded
by ramping up production of Meals4Kids boxes, which contain five
shelf-stable, kid-friendly breakfasts, lunches and snacks. They also
contain information on community resources available for children and
families. From March through July, the Food Bank distributed more than
23,000 boxes.

Help Farms Grow Food
The Rhode Island Community Food Bank receives fresh produce grown by a
network of community farms around the state. These fruits and
vegetables feed hungry Rhode Islanders while utilizing valuable
land. Each farm relies on volunteers to get the work done so there
are always opportunities for you to help out. To learn more, visit our website
and find a community farm near you. Then get to picking fresh produce
for our neighbors in need.
