Thank you, Portsmouth residents!

Portsmouth Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts collected 5 1/2 pallets of food donations for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank this past Saturday. That’s over 120 boxes of food donated by Portsmouth residents to feed hungry Rhode Islanders!

There is a “Second Chance” drop off in case you did not get your donation out Saturday or if your house was overlooked, you can locate the nearest food bank or pantry on the Rhode Island Community Food Bank site at:

www.rifoodbank.org/getfood

or at St. Joseph’s Church Food Pantry located at 5 Mann Ave in Newport, (401) 845-0065 for hours.

Thank you, Portsmouth, for supporting your community.

Portsmouth Troop 82 is shown here Saturday morning at the Portsmouth Fire Department Station before heading out to collect donations.
