Our Story

 

OUR MISSION

Food has the power to change a life. Our mission is to rescue surplus food to relieve hunger and revive communities.

Comprised of three initiatives, We Share Hope’s focus is on providing food and other necessities for those who need it most in our community.

Thanks to donations from stores, restaurants, and other corporate partners, We Share Hope is one of the leading food rescue missions in Rhode Island and has proudly served over 75 non-profit groups since our inception. We have grown from a two-person operation to an organization with over 100 volunteers, an active board, and committed staff who mobilize weekly to bring food and supplies to those who need it most.

We accomplish our mission in three ways:

  1. HOPE ON THE RHODE: We provide food deliveries five days a week to non-profit groups in Rhode Island who serve meals to their community members.

  2. FEED THE FUTURE: We establish and stock food pantries in high-need schools, ensuring children have access to food for nights, weekends, holidays, and vacations.

  3. HOPE MARKET: We are home to Hope Market, a budget-friendly marketplace in Rumford that provides goods to under resourced communities. This market allows those who are experiencing difficult times to get the supplies and food they need. Anyone is welcome to visit Hope Market!

Our efforts are sustained through donations made through Hope Market, and the support of individuals, companies, and foundations who love to pay it forward as much as we do! To learn more about how to partner with us, click here.
