Story

You are invited to make a donation to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank through the URI Child Development Center's Online Art Exchange. Donations of any amount from $2 up can be accepted. In exchange for your donation of any amount, you can visit our Art Exchange in the URI Memorial Union on Thursday, December 12, 10:15 am - 12:15 pm to select a handmade gift created by the preschool children as a token of thanks. We hope you can help us to reach our goal of raising $1,000 for the food bank through our early childhood community service project!
