Looking for a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday? Join our thrift shop team and help make a difference in our community!

We're looking for volunteers to assist with donation intake alongside our awesome Donation Intake Supervisor. You will meet great people, get a little exercise (lifting is involved) and be part of something meaningful.

No experience needed—just a positive attitude and a willingness to lend a hand! Volunteer applications can be found at eastbayfoodpantry.org under the volunteer tab. For more information, stop by the store, email [email protected] or call 401–396-9499 ext.2.

What a week it's been! We are so grateful to be part of such a generous community.

🦞 Last week, we hosted our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner at the Lobster Pot. Jeff and his wonderful team took such great care of us and made everyone feel ... well, appreciated!

🐚 And this past Sunday, many of us gathered at SS Dion for Rose and Clams, a fantastic fundraising event for the whole family! The rain couldn't dampen our spirits, and Nic and the staff were so gracious and welcoming. It was a great time!

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for these businesses in town who went out of their way to make these occasions meaningful and fun. Our hearts are full! 💞

☔ With rain in the forecast for both Sunday and Monday, we have decided to keep the Sunday date, embrace the crummy weather and move the party inside! We can't wait to see everyone who managed to snag tickets to this SOLD OUT event! 🍾

🙏 Thank you once again to SS Dion for being our amazing hosts!

For all our food pantry guests, a reminder that we are closed today, April 1 (NOT an April Fools joke!). 🛍

We close for one Wednesday when a month has five Wednesdays to give our staff time to catch up. We will be open the rest of the month, so please come for your regular two shops per month, plus Fridays for fresh produce and Food4Kids!
