Your generosity has helped nourish hundreds of neighbors.

Help CIRI answer the call again in 2022.

 

In December 2021, with the help of our members, CIRI was able to raise over 1,000 pounds of food and over $8,000 in donations for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. We’re again asking you to do whatever you can in 2022 — through December 15 — to help our neighbors in need.

We all know how expensive the holidays can be. We’re also seeing the effects of inflation, especially in the grocery store. It is a harsh reality for some families that they must decide between a week’s groceries and getting their children gifts this year. Let’s help our local families have a happy, worry-free holiday season.

Every $10 donated can provide 25 meals. CIRI is asking all who are able to make a donation to the RI Community Food Bank. No matter how small. Here are the ways you can help:
