Please Consider Supporting Our Local Food Bank

As we enjoy the holiday season in our beautiful Charlestown community, please join Charlestown Citizens Alliance (CCA) in supporting our neighbors in need.

Food insecurity continues to rise nationally, and our town is no exception. The Rhode Island Center Assisting Those In Need (RI CAN) is a local lifeline to many. RI CAN is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing emergency food, clothing, and other vital support measures to neighbors in crisis throughout the state, primarily in Washington County and the surrounding areas.

Through partnerships with local grocery stores, RI CAN rescues thousands of pounds of food every work week for the benefit of their guests. They also operate a thrift shop adjacent to the pantry to furnish guests with clothing and household items.

The primary objective in breaking the cycle of poverty is to alleviate hunger and food insecurity. At the center of this effort is their food distribution facility in Charlestown, RI.

We have much to give thanks for here in Charlestown and our CCA community is asking you to consider supporting RI CAN’s efforts with a financial donation.

Please mail your check to:
Rhode Island Center Assisting Those In Need
PO Box 73
Carolina, RI 02812

Or make an online payment to RI CAN using their Paypal account.

Your contribution to RI CAN is tax deductible and they are a 501(c)(3) organization. Their Tax Exempt ID is #20-4070706.

Thank you and have happy, restful holiday season!
