Thank You, Anchor Subaru & Subaru of New England! 💙🚗

On behalf of the directors and volunteers at the Northern RI Food Pantry, we extend our appreciation to Anchor Subaru of North Smithfield and Subaru of New England for their incredible generosity and partnership during this year’s Subaru Share the Love event.

We are honored to participate in this meaningful initiative for the fourth consecutive year. Thanks to the continued generosity of Anchor Subaru’s owners and the outstanding dedication of their sales team, an amazing $50,000 was raised to support our mission of serving individuals and families facing food insecurity across Northern Rhode Island.

This remarkable contribution will once again allow Anchor Auto Group to sponsor our first Saturday of the month distribution for the next 12 months, ensuring that local households have consistent access to essential groceries and fresh food.

To the entire Anchor Auto Group family: your compassion, leadership, and unwavering commitment to strengthening our community continue to inspire us. We are deeply grateful for your ongoing support and partnership.

Together, we are making a difference. 💙

Conducting a thorough inventory of our pantry shelves after distribution is crucial for efficient operations and enables us to accurately determine our ordering needs.

We appreciate the assistance provided by the team from Stop and Shop with this task!
