Dear Friends,
The vital role of the Rhode Island Community Food
Bank was clearer in 2010 than ever before. In the wake
of the worst economic recession in 50 years, thousands
of Rhode Islanders needed food assistance and turned to
our Member Agencies for help. Many of those served at food
pantries and meal programs never imagined that they would
find themselves in this situation.
How do you comfort the 75-year-old widow who must
choose between paying for food and paying her heating bill,
the carpenter who lost his job after 20 years of hard work, or
the mother who can’t afford to feed her two teenage boys? We do our best to feed them and feed them well. The Food
Bank distributed a record amount of food this year: 9.7 million pounds. We set and achieved our goal of ensuring that
80 percent was core food—nutritious canned food, dry goods and fresh produce—that can be turned into a healthy
meal. And to fill the gap between summer meal programs and school, we gave out boxes of “kid-friendly” food to
10,000 families with children.
Meeting the urgent need for food assistance is only part of our mission. We also strive to promote long-term solutions
to the problem of hunger. To that end, we joined the statewide effort to help eligible Rhode Islanders receive Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP—formally Food Stamps) benefits that boost their buying power in the supermarket.
We provided culinary job training and placement for unemployed adults through our Community Kitchen program.
And our Women Ending Hunger group sponsored the Witnesses to Hunger exhibit, which provided a forum for some
courageous parents who have faced hunger to tell their stories to our state’s political leaders and advocate for change.
All these efforts were only possible because the community answered our many calls for help. We asked for your
contributions of food and funds, we asked you to volunteer your time, and we asked everyone in Rhode Island, young
and old, to do something about “Nothing” as part of our statewide awareness-building campaign. We asked you to
care about your neighbors who are suffering and you responded generously.
This is our opportunity to say thank you for your loyal support and to share with you some of the incredible work
that you make possible.
Sincerely,
Fr. Frank Sevola Andrew Schiff
President, Board of Directors Chief Executive Officer

On the Front Line
If you ask Rhode Islanders what
comes to mind when they think
of Newport, many would answer
a vacation destination. Hunger
and poverty are words certain to be
missing. But, Pauline Perkins-Moye
knows all too well that neighbors
in her community are struggling.
A life-long Newport resident,
Pauline previously served on the
Food Bank’s Board and is currently
a member of our Honorary Board.
She is the Director of Social and
Resident Services for the Florence
Gray Center/Newport Residents
Council, a Member Agency of the
Food Bank. Her agency offers a
variety of services for low-income
people, including a food pantry,
SNAP outreach, and an adult
literacy program.
Along with the Florence Gray
Center/Newport Residents Council,
there are nine additional Food Bank
affiliated emergency food programs
in Newport. “Most people don’t
think about hunger and poverty
in Newport, but it’s a very serious
problem,” Pauline points out.
As a community that depends
heavily on its hospitality and tourism
industry, the economic downturn
has been devastating. “Visitors are
still coming to Newport, but they’re
not spending the way they used to,
and that’s had an impact on jobs.”
The recession has created a
void that’s forced many to turn to
food pantries for help. They are
the new poor, the recently laid off,
those who’ve had their hours drastically
cut, and can no longer
make ends meet.
“The people I see every day want
to work. No one wants to be seen at
a food pantry, it can be embarrassing.
But, you can’t eat your pride.”
To Pauline, Newport is a close-knit
community where everyone can play a
part to ensure no one is hungry. “This is a
village, and hunger is a serious problem.
We can all be a part of the solution.”

Pauline Perkins-Moye, a Food Bank
Honorary Board member and Director
of Social and Resident Services for the
Florence Gray Center/Newport Residents
Council, sees the impact of the recession
every day in the increasing numbers
of Newport residents served at her
agency’s food pantry.

The Rhode Island Community Food Bank
Hunger impacts every community in our state. For nearly 30 years, the Rhode Island
Community Food Bank has worked to provide food assistance to those who have
nowhere else to turn. As the food distribution hub, the Food Bank routes donated,
purchased and surplus food to 185 certified Member Agencies with 257 sites across
the state. Our Member Agencies—emergency food pantries, community meal sites,
shelters, group homes, senior centers and youth programs—distribute food directly
to people seeking help within the local community. Last year these programs dis-
tributed 9.7 million pounds of food, feeding more than 55,000 people per month.
Recession Causes Increased Need
The prolonged economic recession left thousands of Rhode Island families in crisis,
struggling to feed themselves and their families. People who were once self-sufficient
found themselves in food pantry lines. This extraordinary demand was met with the
amazing generosity of businesses, individuals, organizations, schools and volunteers
from around the state.

Creating a Legacy of Social Action
Will and Catherine O’Reilly Collette live out their desire for social change and commitment to helping others by supporting the
Food Bank. they donate through the Sustainer’s Harvest monthly giving program, and have designated the Food Bank a beneficiary
of their iRA in their will.
Will and Catherine O’Reilly Collette deeply
understand the importance of playing a role
in the well-being of our neighbors in need.
As social activists they support organizations
fighting poverty. “I’m a lifetime organizer, and it’s always been
important for us to help those on the front lines working for
social change,” explains Will.
Will worked for 25 years in the non-profit realm, and
Catherine is now retired from her job as a department head
for a national labor union. Will adds, “Supporting the Food
Bank is a very direct way for us to affect people’s lives in a
positive way, which has always been one of our priorities.”

a n k
As donors through our Sustainer’s Harvest monthly
giving program, the Collette’s generosity provides a consistent
revenue source for the Food Bank. “You don’t have to
give a huge amount to make a difference,” Catherine says.
In addition to their monthly gifts, the Collettes, who do
not have children, have designated the Food Bank as an IRA
beneficiary in their will, creating a lasting legacy that will
help future generations. Catherine continues, “It’s a great
feeling to think we can help after we’re gone. You don’t have
to leave everything to family. You can certainly put some
aside for your community.”

Alleviating Childhood Hunger
Through the Rhode island Meals 4 Kids
program, the Food Bank distributed boxes
of high-quality, nutritious breakfast and
lunch foods to 10,000 low-income families
with school age children. Using federal stimulus
funds, the effort provided statewide
child hunger-relief at the end of the summer.
During this critical time of year, a hunger gap
exists between the end of summer feeding
programs and the beginning of the school year, when children once again access the
National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs.
Participating in Disaster Relief Efforts
When historic flooding hit Rhode Island last spring, the Food Bank played a crucial
role in disaster relief efforts. Through our partnership with FEMA, and thanks to many
of our Member Agencies, we set up 23 sites where the public could access food, safe
drinking water and donated cleaning supplies.
Boosting the Buying Power of Families in Need
SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as Food
Stamps) is a government assistance program to help low-income households pay for
food. The Food Bank employs two outreach workers in the high-need communities
of Newport and Woonsocket to provide eligibility pre-screenings and offer application
assistance for this invaluable program. Last year, these outreach workers helped more
than 700 individuals assess their eligibility for the program and apply for assistance.

Giving Back is a Family Affair
Family matriarch Barbara Linnell and her late husband Jack instilled the importance of giving back in their daughter Kristen
Gower, husband David, and their children Steven, 13, Allison, 10, John, 8, and Peter, 3.
Barbara Linnell and her late husband Jack have
been long-time and generous supporters of
the Food Bank. As parents, and subsequently
grandparents, they created a legacy of giving.
Adopted as a young child, Jack and his wife started
a family when they adopted their daughter, Kristen.
Now married, Kristen and her husband David remember
vividly what the Food Bank meant to Mr. Linnell. “He
always wanted to make sure we knew that helping
others was extremely important to him,” David recalls.
Throughout his lifetime, Kristen believes her father
recognized the need to give back and help his community
because he felt so blessed to grow up in a home
with opportunities.

When David and Kristen’s first child, Steven, was
young, they remember Jack encouraging them, “Now
that you have a son, you need to show him the Food
Bank.” A few years after his grandfather’s passing, Steven
can point to where Jack has been memorialized in the
Food Bank’s Pathway to End Hunger.
“We are a family that realizes how important it is
to help others,” Barbara, the family matriarch, explains
of the legacy they want to continue.
Like her Dad, Kristen recognizes how fortunate she’s
been and makes giving back a big part of raising her
family. She tells us, “In order to appreciate what you
have, you have to be aware of what is around you. I am
proud to be able to carry on my father’s teachings to my
children Steven, 13, Allison, 10, John, 8, and Peter, 3.”

Providing Healthy Food
The Food Bank is concerned about feeding the hungry well, because poor nutrition
contributes to poor health. One of our strategic goals is to distribute more core food
(nutritious canned food, dry goods and fresh produce, including locally grown food
from Rhode Island farms). This year, out of a total distribution of 9.7 million pounds
of food, 83 percent was core food, which translates into 12 million healthy meals
for families in need.
Local Farms Grow for the Hungry
The Rhode island Community Farm is a group of five sites throughout the state,
plus the College of Environment and Life Sciences at the University of Rhode Island,
which are solely dedicated to growing produce for the Food Bank. In total the farms
harvested 45 tons of fresh vegetables last year.
From planting the very first seed through harvesting the last bushel, the farms are
run entirely by volunteers. Donating their time and hard-work, farm volunteers ensure
that people in need have access to healthy, locally grown produce.
Bringing Fresh Produce to those in Need
Neighborhood Pantry Express served the high-need communities of Newport, Peace
Dale, Providence, Warwick, Westerly and Woonsocket on a weekly basis during the summer
months. By distributing more than 300,000 pounds of fresh produce through a
farmer’s market approach, Neighborhood Pantry Express quickly gets nutritious, yet
highly perishable food into the hands of those in need.

Food Bank Provides Skills
for a Better Tomorrow
Jessica Martinez enrolled in the Food Bank’s 14-week culinary job-training program, Community Kitchen,
to gain the skills she needed to succeed in the workforce and support her family.
Until a year ago, Jessica Martinez and her husband
had always been self-sufficient. A family of six
from Warren, Jessica was an at-home mom with
the two youngest children while her husband
worked two jobs.
The recession hit Jessica’s family hard. “One of my husband’s
jobs laid off a lot of people and he lost his job. His second job
was at an auto body shop, but nobody was spending money
to fix cars.” Without much warning, the family went from
two full-time incomes to one part-time.
During the next six months, the family did their best to
get by, often paying one bill one month and a different one
the next month. “We were falling behind, but trying to do the
best we could.” Eventually, they couldn’t afford it anymore
and became homeless.

a n k
With help from Crossroads Rhode Island, the family was
placed in a two-year transitional housing program. At about
the same time, Jessica enrolled in the Food Bank’s Community
Kitchen job-training program.
For 14 weeks, Jessica trained for a career in the food
services industry alongside nine other adult students, all
working to better their lives. Community Kitchen gave her
the skills and confidence she needed to succeed in the
workforce.
With her Community Kitchen certificate in-hand, Jessica
is starting a new career path, but she’ll never forget the difficulties
her family overcame on their journey. “I don’t want
to think about where we would be without the Food Bank.”

Cooking Up a Career
To help adults find and maintain gainful employment, the Food Bank offers Community
Kitchen, a culinary job-training program. Under the guidance of professional instructors,
students train for 14 weeks, learning the cooking skills necessary to prepare them for
jobs in the food service industry.
In addition to their classroom curriculum, the program includes internships at local
restaurants, hotels and institutional kitchens as well as valuable life skills workshops.
Today, many of our graduates work in some of the state’s best eateries, along with
hospitals, colleges and schools.
Feeding At-Risk Kids
In Rhode Island, thousands of school age children
qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. To assist
with dinner, the Food Bank offers Kids Cafe, which
serves wholesome evening meals to children at high
risk of hunger.
In partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs and community
centers, Kids Cafe feeds an average of 500
children after school at 10 sites in Providence and
Newport on a daily basis. Meals for the Providence
program are prepared by Community Kitchen
students as part of their culinary training.
Leading Nutrition Workshops
The Food Bank offers nutrition education
to food pantry clients through Raising the
Bar on Nutrition. Conducted at Member
Agencies, these workshops include cooking
demonstrations and nutrition guidance.
The program helps low-income families
adopt a healthy diet by teaching them
how to prepare nutritious and affordable
meals. Participants receive nutrition information,
recipes and ingredients to re-
create the meals at home. Among those
who completed the program last year,
many continue to utilize Raising the Bar
on Nutrition recipes for their families and report changes to their diet such as eating
more vegetables and less snack foods.

Grandmother Inspires Family
to Pay It Forward
Three years ago, as the holidays approached, Anne
Dunbar recalls telling her grandchildren, “Please don’t
get me anything, there’s nothing I need. Instead,
make a donation. Give back.”
Anne has been volunteering at the Food Bank since 2008.
“The Food Bank is my main area of giving. As a family, we talk
a lot about helping meet people’s basic needs.” Anne’s feelings
about helping the less fortunate left a clear impression
on her grandchildren.
Matthew and Ellie Dunbar, who learn about hunger and
poverty at school, took their grandmother’s words to heart,
making their decision to raise funds to help the hungry an
easy one. “We thought that just us giving wasn’t going to
cut it. We wanted to make a big impact,” said Matthew.
With help from their parents, Matthew, a 17-year-old
student at LaSalle Academy and Ellie, a 14-year-old attending
Food Bank volunteer Anne Dunbar’s passion for helping others inspired her grandchildren,
Matt & Ellie Dunbar, to raise nearly $5,000 for the Food Bank in her honor.

St. Mary Academy–Bay View, drafted a letter about the
Food Bank, their efforts to honor their grandmother, and a
list of people to approach. “We wrote to family and friends,
people in state and out of state. We even got donations
from our friends at school,” described Ellie.
The hard work of this brother-sister duo paid off. “That
first year, it was overwhelming,” said Anne. “They handed
me an envelope, and when I opened it, it said this is what
we did and this is what we raised. It was over $1,400.
I wanted to cry.”
For three straight years, the results have exceeded both
Matthew and Ellie’s expectations. Friends and family have
generously responded, helping the Dunbars raise nearly
$5,000 to help others. “I’m so proud of them. It’s the power
of two, doing it together,” said Anne. “You cannot deny a
request from a child.”

Volunteering for the Cause
Last year, hundreds of people volunteered
their time—inspecting, sorting
and packing food for distribution.
Volunteers also assisted with collecting
food and monetary donations, helped
with special events, office projects and
more. The impact of our volunteer support
is felt in homes across Rhode Island.
Raising Hunger Awareness
Women Ending Hunger works to create
long-term solutions to the problem of hunger and further the mission of the Food Bank.
This group is comprised of women from diverse backgrounds who volunteer their time
to educate the community about hunger, raise funds and advocate for policies to help
people in need. In the past year, the group brought Witnesses to Hunger, a powerful
traveling photo exhibit to Providence, as well as produced a reusable shopping bag,
which is sold at stores throughout the state.
Local Witnesses Sarah L., Marie W. and Charlene
M. are joined by Women Ending Hunger Co-Chairs
tracey Cugno and Dr. Mary Flynn as they receive
a citation from former Providence Mayor David
Cicilline.
Building Hunger
Awareness
Canstruction brings together
local architects and construction
firms to design and build large
sculptures made entirely out of
canned food. This unique event
returned to Rhode Island last
spring with a two-week exhibit
in the Concourse of Providence
Place. All 27,000 cans of food
from the six structures were
donated to the Food Bank.
Putting Hunger on Display
Witnesses to Hunger is a traveling
photo exhibit capturing the day-
to-day reality of low-income mothers.
Created by the School of Public Health
at Drexel University in Philadelphia,
the Food Bank’s Women Ending
Hunger group brought the exhibit
to Rhode Island last year. To add a
local perspective, we incorporated
the photographs taken by four
Rhode Island women who struggle
to feed their children. This emotional
exhibit is a window into the lives of
women raising children in a world
of hunger and poverty.

A Place at the Table for Everyone
As the owner of Pinelli’s Café at Night, Bill Pinelli
is surrounded by food. However, he’s acutely
aware that for too many Rhode Islanders, the
cupboards are bare.
“I came from a poor family,” he’ll tell you. “We scrapped
for food. My siblings and I ate a lot of beans and a lot of
rice growing up.”
Bill recalls how his mother did whatever was necessary
to provide for the family. He often tells the story of how
she worked nights, but he didn’t know it until he was 8
or 9 years old. “I’d go to bed, and my older sister watched
us so mom could go to work.”
Since getting involved with the Food Bank more than
five years ago, Bill has played a key role in the planning of
several successful events. He has also solicited donations
from others in the hospitality industry, helping the Food
Bank maximize the funds generated to help the hungry.
And, you’ll always find his restaurant among the participants
at the annual Taste of the Flower Show.
Bill credits his upbringing—being taught to take care
of others—for his passion for the Food Bank. To him, food
represents family, and filling the most basic need that we
all share. The fact that many families struggle to afford
adequate food is unacceptable. “Your entire life is restructured
when you’re hungry. Without food, you can’t learn,
you can’t work. If you’re a child, you can’t play. It upsets
me to think about all the families without food in their
homes.”

Doing Something about Nothing
In an effort to engage the entire community, young
and old, in helping the hungry, the Food Bank
launched the Nothing campaign last spring. The
campaign was produced pro-bono by NAiL, an
award-winning advertising firm in Providence, and
underwritten by the Citizens Bank Foundation.
The campaign encouraged Rhode Islanders to
do something about hunger by purchasing empty cans of Nothing
at grocery stores across the state. In doing so, the campaign confronted
head-on the pessimistic view that hunger is an unsolvable
problem.
As a multimedia campaign featuring online, radio, TV and outdoor
advertising, Nothing increased the Food Bank’s visibility and
raised awareness about the problem of hunger. To learn more
about Nothing, visit www.nothing.org.
