The Bread of Life Food Pantry

Posted

The Bread of Life Food Pantry is located at Newman Congregational Church, 100 Newman Avenue, Rumford and is open twice each month, on the second and fourth Tuesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. The Pantry welcomes all those in need of food assistance. The Pantry is a collaborative ecumenical effort of six East Providence churches: Bethany Church of the Nazarene, Church of the Epiphany, Evangelical Covenant Church of Riverside, Haven United Methodist Church, Newman Congregational Church, UCC and St. Margaret Church.

The Pantry is currently operating as a drive-through program in the parking lot of Newman Church to assure the safety of volunteers and clients during the COVID pandemic. Clients remain in their cars as Pantry volunteers record their visits and provide them with their groceries.

During the month of May, the Pantry typically receives food donations via the National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive. However, this year the event has been postponed due to the pandemic. Please visit the National Association of Letter Carriers website to learn how you may still participate in this important annual event by making a monetary donation to a local food bank in lieu of a food donation left by your mailbox. Monetary donations to the Bread of Life Food Pantry can be made by visiting the Pantry’s website at www.EPBreadOfLife.org.   The Pantry will greatly appreciate your support!
