Increase the Food Bank's Budget Allocation

Increase the Food Bank's Budget Allocation

The Food Bank currently serves an average of 85,000 people per month - more than even during the height of the pandemic. The FY25 State budget included an $800,000 allocation for the Food Bank - an important part of helping us address this record demand. But in the FY26 budget, the Governor proposed an allocation for the Food Bank of just $550,000 - a cut that Rhode Islanders simply can't afford.

We're grateful for the leadership of Senator Tiara Mack and Representative David Morales, who have submitted legislation to help us better address the staggering need for food support. Their bills would increase the Food Bank's budget allocation to a total $1 million (adding $450,000 to the Governor's proposed $550,000). But we need your voice!

Tell your legislators you support H6017 and S421!
