About the Food Bank:
Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Providence, RI, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank (“the Food Bank” or “RI Food Bank”) serves as the central hub for food distribution across its state-wide network of 147 member agencies/food pantries, ensuring that nutritious food reaches those who need it most. Through donations, federal programs, and community partnerships, the Food Bank works to improve the quality of life for all Rhode Islanders by advancing solutions to the problem of hunger.

Please note: This ecipe card is dated August 2023. Food inflation has grown since then. The ingredients cost about $19.10, and the serving size according to the recipe card is 4-5 servings. That puts us at ~$4.00 per serving.
