Join The Central Rhode Island Chamber in Collecting Food for Our Neighbors in Need 

The Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce is hosting a food collection drive for Westbay Community Action to aid our local neighbors in need throughout the month of November. These are our neighbors, colleagues, customers/clients, and local residents. It’s easy:

  1. Register here to be added to list of participating businesses
  2. Download the posters to affix to your collection bin.   Download Collection Bin Sign
  3. Drop off at Westbay Community Action at the end of the month.  Or, in the case of large donations, contact them to come collect the bins.

All non-perishable food items are appreciated as long as they are not expired.  However, the following items are in high demand:

• Canned meats (tuna, chicken +++)

• Peanut butter and jelly

• Pasta and sauce

• Canned soups and stews

• Cereal and oatmeal

• Breakfast bars and granola bars

• Rice and boxed side dishes
