Jean's Closet & Food Pantry at RHS

01/21/2026

The students are back from break and we could really use some snacks! Mini chip bags, cereal bars, pop tarts, pudding cups, beef sticks, Goldfish, etc. would all help us fill our snack shelf! We are also in need of cereal (anything but Cheerios- we have loads of those), tomato sauce (we have 1 jar), frozen meals (pizzas, burritos, proteins, etc.).
Thank you so much to all who have donated. We received a large donation from a local church today which helped fill our shelves! We can’t do this without you all, and we are so appreciative for the help we receive to support our students!

So grateful for the Amazon deliveries that came in over the weekend. Thank you! We had a busy week last week - lots of cereal, milk, yogurt, juice boxes, microwaveable meals and soups, snacks/chips, and breakfast items (Pop-Tarts, Nutri-Grain bars, etc.) went out the doors. Today, the shelves have been restocked, and we are ready for the week ahead!

I got over 50 reactions on my posts last week! Thanks everyone for your support! 🎉 I really appreciate all the donations. We served a good number of kids today. We sent over 20 bags of food and hygiene items home with students today!

Thank you for helping us stock our shelves! Your generosity helps us meet our students’ needs and ensure they have a variety of options to choose from.
Every donation makes a difference, helping our students feel supported, cared for and ready to focus on learning. ❤️🖤
Today we had RHS alums and past parents delivering a car load from our Amazon wishlist, stocking shelves, receiving a pallet from FeedRI, and shopping for perishable items with money donated from family and friends. It truly “takes a village”, and we have an amazing village here on Aquidneck Island. Thank you!
Current gaps to fill:
Sprite (to be used in birthday cake mix), cake frosting, butter and milk (needed for the macaroni and cheese), meat (can be frozen), mayonnaise (needed for sandwiches and tuna fish), pancake mix (complete), syrup, canned or frozen mixed vegetables, freezer meals and snacks such as pizzas or burritos, milk, shredded cheese, crackers, clothes hangers to organize the clothing donations.

Special thanks to the Newport Federal Order of Police Association Lodge 8 for hosting a hygiene drive to help fill our shelves! Because of their generosity, students can easily “shop” for what they need. Having these everyday essentials available means our students can stay where they belong — in class, learning and thriving. 📚

We had some past parent volunteers bring in the Amazon Wish List deliveries and donations from the Fifth Ward Liquors donations box this morning.
It is so nice to see on the shelves again! Thank you, thank you!
We will always accept any donations, but many ask what the greatest needs are right now. Our fridges and freezers are empty! Meat (we freeze, so it can be frozen), freezer meals, milk, butter, yogurt, juices, bread, jelly, pasta and sauce, cereal (any but Cheerios- we have a good stock of those), mayo, ketchup, sugar, frozen pizzas, Sprite (for our birthday cake mixes), frozen vegetables, toothpaste.
Thank you for coming together and helping us fill our shelves so we can fill our students’ bellies.

We are getting settled into our new space, the former Colonial Dining Room in the NACTC building, and have loads of shelves and freezer space to fill. We are always looking for food and hygiene items, as well as cleaning supplies for our students. We have an Amazon wish list for easy shopping (that gets delivered to us), or contact Jean to set up a delivery during school hours. Thank you for thinking of our students and for supporting this important resource for our school community.
