At the East Bay Food Pantry, food is available to anyone in need in our community.  We currently serve over 500 households representing 1600 individuals (550 of those being children).  Our Food Pantry is grocery store style: our guests get a basket and choose only what their family needs.

The Stone Soup Thrift Shop is the sustaining force behind the East Bay Food Pantry.  All are welcome to shop at the Thrift Shop! 100% of the proceeds from the thrift shop benefit the food pantry. Please help spread the word to friends, family, and neighbors about this new shopping option in Bristol!

We welcome your support.  If you are interested in volunteering or running your own food or clothing drive, please contact us by phone at 401.396.9490 or by emailing our Executive Director, Anita Randall, at arandall@eastbayfoodpantry.org.  You can also fill out our online Volunteer Application.

The East Bay Food Pantry is a proud member of the RI Community Food Bank network of agencies and the Bristol County Basic Needs Network.  We are a 501c(3) non-profit organization and your donations are tax-deductible.  We welcome your donations.

Your good works help us fulfill our mission: to engage, educate and empower the east bay in creating a hunger-free community.
