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:

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:

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.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for standing with us in the fight to end hunger. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
 Jacqueline Watson-Gardiner
 Executive Director, YNFP

YNFP is proud and gratified to have been selected (four times now!) by Stop & Shop for a program to get more Rhode Islanders involved in the fight against hunger.

During October 2024, $1 went toward funding our food pantry whenever someone bought a bouquet at the Stop & Shop at 333 West River Street in Providence. Previously, the store at 1128 Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence has also supported YNFP through this program. Many thanks to Stop & Shop, its Bloomin' 4 Good! program and all who have participated!

If you've got a creative fundraising idea, we'd love to hear from you at ynfp22@gmail.com.


401 Thanks!

We are so grateful to all who donated to YNFP and those who helped us spread the word on social media during the annual fundraiser, 401Gives.

Thousands of people across Rhode Island gave over $3.5 million to their favorite causes this year, including to the fight against hunger.

ICYMI, you can support our pantry at any time as a donor (using the Venmo or PayPal button above) or as a volunteer. We can't say it enough: Thank you for supporting YNFP and our neighbors who depend on it.
