New Year Brings New Stop & Shop Campaign

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

During January 2025, $1 will go toward funding our food pantry whenever someone buys a bouquet at the Stop & Shop at 1128 Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence. In the past, the store at 333 West River Street in Providence has also supported YNFP through this program.

Bloomin' 4 Good! 

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.
