PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The Rhode Island Community Food Bank is asking for people to help in its annual holiday food drive.
Among the items it needs the most: peanut butter, tuna, whole wheat pasta, rice as well as canned fruits and vegetables, soups and beans.
It’s also asking for boxed macaroni and cheese, extra virgin olive oil, tomato sauce, granola bars and breakfast cereals.
The food bank says it serves 59,000 Rhode Islanders each month. One third of those are children, and one fifth are senior citizens.
Food Bank CEO Andrew Schiff says they want to make sure no one in Rhode Island goes hungry over the holidays.
