RI Feeds Our Heroes

Donation protected
Nurses and hospital staff on the front lines of the COVID-19 epidemic are superheroes and we couldn't be more grateful for their life saving efforts. At the same time, our beloved local restaurants are scrambling to feed our communities while trying to keep their doors open. 

The 'RI Feeds Our Heroes' campaign strives to help BOTH.

How you can help:

Donate any amount. Honestly, any amount helps. 100% of your donation will go towards the purchase of food gift cards from our restaurants that offer delivery and/or curbside pickup. 

100% of the funds collected through this campaign will be used to purchase Gift Cards from our team of restaurants and donated directly to nurses and staff at Hasbro Children's Hospital, RI Hospital, Miriam Hospital, Women & Infants Hospital, and Roger Williams Hospital.

Partial list of participating restaurants:

Tallulah's Taqueria, KNEAD Doughnuts, Revival Brewing, Pizza J/Julians, Trinity Brewhouse, Dolores, Hometown Poke, PLANT CITY, Sandwich Hut, Hudson Street Deli, and PV Donuts.

DISCLAIMER: Providence Bagel will NOT be among the restaurants we buy gift cards from. Providence Bagel is, however, donating $400 in gift cards ($100 to each hospital).
