Strategic Plan 2010-2015


I'm proud to share our recently completed, five-year strategic plan. The board and staff worked closely together to examine our organization's efficacy. We asked questions of ourselves and our community on how we can best address the rising hunger problem in our state. We are all very proud of our results!

About "Nothing"



Last Wednesday I was in Boston meeting with our colleagues in the Northeast Regional Anti-Hunger Network. CEO of the Rhode Island Foodbank, Andrew Schiff shared with us their new Nothing campaign. This campaign is designed to help everyone understand what it feels like to go hungry. They created empty cans of Nothing that you can buy with other canned foods in the grocery store. These empty cans are more than just a symbol. Purchasing a can of Nothing supports the Rhode Island Foodbank. They also hosted taste tests of Nothing around Rhode Island. This dynamic and thoughtful campaign made a big impact on us all, and I'm so proud of Nothing!
