For the safety of our community, we have implemented a number of temporary changes to our policies and procedures. We ask for your assistance adhering to these policies to mitigate risk:

1. Our Thrift Shop is temporarily closed, and we are not accepting food or Thrift Shop donations until further notice.

2. To reduce the risk of transmitting the virus, we are severely limiting the number of people in our facility at any one time. We appreciate all offers to volunteer, but we are asking both regular and new volunteers to contact us before coming in. We will let you know if your services are needed.

3. We will be distributing all food at our entrance. We strongly encourage those waiting for food to maintain distance between themselves.

4. To reduce wait times and person to person contact, all food will be pre-bagged.

5. Monetary donations are greatly appreciated to allow us to cope with the changing demands of this emergency and the increased need for food assistance both now and in the weeks and months to come. If you are able, please donate by clicking the orange Donate button above or by mail to East Bay Food Pantry, 532 Wood St., Bristol, RI 02809

Thank-you for your support and understanding. We will continue to offer updates as the situation evolves.
