Canned and non perishable food

Submitted by TotalDebate6050 t3_11cn3py in RhodeIsland

Does anyone know where I would be able to go donate large quantities of canned food, pasta, cereal, personal hygiene items that I have saved up that is no where near expiring?

A church down the st has a drive every Saturday and they give out lots of food for $5 and I honestly just keep the frozen meat and eggs they give. Is there somewhere I can go and drop these off I really don’t want to throw anything away. I already have a stock pile in my basement and I just cannot keep anything lol.

I have a community pantry outside of my business, it gets a lot of traffic from the neighborhood. 257 Warren Ave East Providence

RI food bank if you have transportation. If not, George Ortiz at the Elisha Project will direct it to good use.

There are also free pantries where you can just drop off the food anytime in Providence in front of Urban Greens market on Cranston St and in front of Project Weber/RENEW on Broad st.

No prob! When my neighbor goes to Project Hand Up, she gives me the stuff she can't use, and I take the stuff I can't use to one of the pantries.
