The Rhode Island Center Assisting those in Need is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing emergency food, clothing, and other vital support measures to neighbors in crisis throughout the state, primarily in Washington County and the surrounding areas.
Our primary objective in breaking the cycle of poverty is to alleviate hunger and food insecurity. At the center of this effort is our food distribution facility in Charlestown, RI.
RICan believes you have the right to choose what to eat and that’s why our supermarket-styled food pantry lets guests choose items for themselves. We invite you to tour our facility to learn more about our work.
RICan invites the public to learn about the problem of poverty in our state and become involved in the ways we work with our communities to help neighbors in crisis
