With the development of the Farm to Food Pantry grant, 28 different local organizations and food pantries partner to purchase locally grown food for those most vulnerable in our community through Market Mobile. The funds for this program — a substantial total of $175,000 — are generously funded by four outstanding Rhode Island institutions: The Rhode Island Community Food Bank, The Providence Healthy Communities Office, The Rhode Island Foundation, and The Amica Companies Foundation. These funds allow each of the 28 participating organizations and food pantries to purchase weekly supplies from local farmers and food makers through Market Mobile. Our team then delivers those orders to the food bank and food pantries, supplying nutritious, fresh and local options for people in need.
