Nourish Our Neighbors Campaign Feeds Barrington Families In Need

BARRINGTON, RI —Nourish Our Neighbors, a campaign of donors, volunteers and agency partner Hope & Main that has distributed 15,000 meals to East Bay seniors, families and others in need, is conducting its summer campaign.

Every meal reaches a family, a homebound senior in Bristol, Warren or Barrington, women and children seeking protection from domestic violence under the care of the Women's Resource Center or a differently-abled adult struggling with food access in a group home managed by L.I.F.E., Inc.

The program donates food for between 30 and 40 Barrington families, and 25 to 30 seniors each year.

Hope & Main is beginning its 10-week summer campaign and looking to raise $70,000 by June 19 in order to feed residents until Labor Day.

For just $32, area residents can provide a nutritious, prepared meal for a family of four. Contributions help to feed those with food insecurity at a challenging time.

A 10-week sustainer subscription provides a purchaser one or two chef-prepared meals for per week for 10 weeks. For each meal purchased, a meal is set aside for a neighbor who is in need. Nourish Our Neighbors sustainers must be able to come to Hope & Main to pick up meals weekly.

WaterRower will also match all gifts of $1,000 or more from local businesses and generous individuals equally up to $25,000 donated. There was $13,000 left in WaterRower donations remaining as of June 10.
