Coastal Medical is once again teaming up with the Rhode Island Community Food Bank to help Rhode Islanders in need this holiday season. This year's Donation Drive will run from November 1st through December 11th. For each donation given by a Coastal employee, Coastal Medical will match 100%!
The Rhode Island Community Food Bank acquires and distributes food to neighbors in need through a statewide network of 159 pantries and meal sites. Each month, 54,000 Rhode Islanders receive food assistance at these agencies. 66% of households served by food pantries include seniors and/or children. Since the Food Bank purchases nutritious food in bulk, your donated dollars are leveraged to get more food than can be purchased at the grocery store, thereby getting more food out to those in the community who need it.
