THIS INCLUDES DONATED FOOD FROM THE FOOD INDUSTRY AND COMMUNITY FOOD DRIVES; PERISHABLE FOOD RESCUE; FRESH PRODUCE DONATED BY GROWERS; THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) NUTRITION PROGRAMS; FEMA MEALS; AND FOOD PURCHASES. FOOD PURCHASES WERE LIMITED TO FOOD ITEMS THAT COMPLEMENT WHAT WAS RECEIVED THROUGH DONATION. THE FOOD BANK IS COMMITTED TO ACQUIRING AND DISTRIBUTING NUTRITIOUS FOODS THAT INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES CAN USE TO MAKE MEALS, WHAT WE CALL CORE FOOD, SUCH AS FRESH, FROZEN, AND CANNED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, DAIRY, GRAINS, AND PROTEIN. THIS YEAR, 88% OF ALL DISTRIBUTED FOOD WAS CORE, HEALTHY FOOD.
COMMUNITY KITCHEN IS A CULINARY JOB-TRAINING PROGRAM FOR LOW-INCOME AND UNEMPLOYED ADULTS. EACH CLASS TRAINS STUDENTS IN THE COOKING, FOOD SAFETY AND LIFE SKILLS NEEDED FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THE FOOD AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY. AS PART OF THEIR TRAINING, STUDENTS PREPARED NUTRITIOUS MEALS EACH WEEK FOR DISTRIBUTION TO OUR PROVIDENCE AND EAST PROVIDENCE KIDS CAFE LOCATIONS. DURING 2020, THE FOOD BANK ENROLLED THREE CLASSES (CLASSES 71-73) AND COMPLETED TWO CLASSES PRIOR TO THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS (CLASSES 71-72). STATISTICS FOR THE TWO COMPLETED CLASSES INCLUDE AN 87% GRADUATION RATE AND 62% SECURED EMPLOYMENT AFTER GRADUATING.
KIDS CAFE SERVES WHOLESOME EVENING MEALS TO CHILDREN AT RISK OF HUNGER, SUPPLEMENTING SCHOOL NUTRITION PROGRAMS. IN 2020, THE FOOD BANK OPERATED TWO KIDS CAFE SITES, SERVING AN AVERAGE 154 CHILDREN A DAY. SITES WERE LOCATED AT THE EAST PROVIDENCE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB AND THE PAWTUCKET YMCA (THE YMCA BEGAN SERVING MEALS IN DECEMBER 2019). A TOTAL OF 15,224 MEALS WERE PROVIDED TO THE TWO SITES.
