Everyone Deserves a Holiday Meal

The 2024 Giving Season is upon us, and YNFP is once again launching a Thanksgiving Food Drive as part of its year-end campaign for support.

It's been a difficult year for many in your community, and this time of year can hit particularly hard. Unless we all help.

Please read our annual appeal letter below and consider contributing a holiday meal for a family in need on our donation page. 

We also welcome food donations, such as turkeys, stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, cake mix, and other side dishes. Just give us a call at 401-919-5233.

Thanks and happy holidays!

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.

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.

Last year, Providence Monthly joined in this global movement by shining a spotlight on local problems and solutions. We're so gratified to share that spotlight with Providence nonprofits who are all part of the solution.
