Donations
On April 1-2, Rhode Islanders will support their favorite causes during this annual event devoted to charitable giving in our state.
We hope you'll consider donating to YNFP on our dedicated page on the 401Gives site. The need is greater than ever in today's hard times, when:
Rhode Islanders in need are having to choose between paying for food housing, and medicine.
Food pantries like YNFP, the last defense in such hard times, have less and less food to offer them.
People will have nowhere to go, if pantries must close their doors due to unwise government policies.
But closures are a distinct possibility, unless we all pull together for our neighbors in need.

Help End Hunger in RI
As a member of the Rhode Island Food Bank Network, YNFP helps fill the tragic gap the Food Bank recently identified. That is, sadly, that nearly two out of five RI households are food insecure.
We could really use your support in helping more families secure the food they need. Please read our annual appeal letter and give what you can via the options on this page: Venmo, PayPal or the postal address below.

Greetings Supporters,
As the holiday season approaches, we at Your Neighborhood Food Pantry (YNFP) are reaching out to ask for your support. Your generosity is vital in helping us continue our mission of ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry.
Our community faces increasing challenges, with many of our neighbors struggling to put healthy meals on their tables. At YNFP, we are passionate about making a difference, driven by a sense of purpose and commitment to providing nutritious food to those in need. With your help, we can meet this critical need and ensure that everyone has access to wholesome, nourishing meals.
A Year of Impact: What We’ve Accomplished Together
Thanks to the generosity of individuals like you, YNFP has made remarkable progress in our first year:
Over 6,000 visits to our weekly food distribution
450 Thanksgiving meals provided to families
Holiday gifts distributed to children in our community
These achievements were only possible because of the support from compassionate individuals and partnerships with community-minded organizations. But the need continues to grow, and with it, so does our need for support.
How You Can Make a Difference
Your monetary donation will have a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve. Every dollar helps us to:
Acquire and distribute nutritious food
Operate efficiently to reach more families
Provide vital support to our community during these challenging times
This year, we’ve also launched our Thanksgiving Drive. A donation of $80 - $100 will provide all the fixings for a complete holiday meal for a family in need.
Join Us in Building a Stronger, Healthier Community
We invite you to consider how your contribution can help us continue our fight against hunger. Your support will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors and strengthen the fabric of our community.
