Rhode Island Community Food Bank

The Food Bank is a private, nonprofit organization located in Providence, RI. It is governed by a Board of Directors, elected annually by the Food Bank’s member agencies. The Food Bank is affiliated with Feeding America, the national food bank organization. The Food Bank is funded primarily by gifts from individuals, corporate donations, foundation grants and some government funding. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all Rhode Islanders by advancing solutions to the problem of hunger. We envision a state where no one goes hungry.

The Food Bank distributes food to people in need through a state-wide network of 147 member agencies, providing nutritious pantry staples, fresh produce, meats, dairy and culturally relevant foods to Rhode Islanders experiencing food insecurity. Equipped with a 77,000-square-foot facility, a fleet of trucks and a professional staff, the Food Bank safely and efficiently solicits, collects, stores and distributes large quantities of food from many sources.
