Project Apron raises $5,600 for the RI Food Bank

Project ApronA generous crowd turned out to see RISD student-designed aprons parade down the runaway at last Friday’s Project Apron: Fighting Hunger with Fashion. Mayor Cicilline and two Big Nazo puppets joined the ranks of a dozen other volunteer models to show off 40 designs to the audience of 120 bidders. Organized by Ginny Dunleavy and Louella Hill at RISD Dining, with a financial match from the Feinstein Foundation and an in-kind match from participating local farmers, the evening raised $5,600 for Farm Fresh’s Fresh Food Drive and the RI Food Bank.
