Hey kids! Want to be a Can Man Fan?
Click the link for a printable coloring page of our Mascot, Can Man!
Here are a few ideas about how you can help make sure that local families have plenty to eat:
- Invite Can Man to your school! Can Man and a friend from the East Bay Food Pantry can come to your school to talk about food insecurity and what we can do to help. Can Man would love to help your school to kick off a food or fund drive!
- Join us every June for our 5k fun run called “Get Off your Can!”.
- Grow-A-Row! What’s that? Find out by clicking our link: Grow A Row!
- Have a Peanut Butter and Jelly Drive at your school. One Rhode Island seventh grader collected 290 jars of peanut butter and jelly in seven days!
- Remind your parents to donate when food drives happen in your area.
- Raise money for the Food Pantry by having a car wash, selling lemonade or collecting pennies from friends and family (remember to check with your parents first.)
- Check out the Rhode Island Community Food Bank Kids Page for more ideas.
