During the months of November and December, people are filled with the giving spirit, yet as soon as the holidays end, we seem to forget that there is still a great need to fill our food pantries. During the month of January we will be collecting donations of non-perishable food and personal hygiene items that will be delivered to a local pantry in our neighborhood. See list below for most-needed food items.

This event is co-sponsored by Friends of Pawtuxet Village and the Pawtuxet Village Merchants Collaborative.

THANK YOU in advance for your generosity!
