Fighting Hunger Together with the Rhode Island Community Food Bank

As the season of giving approaches, we're reaching out to our community for a collective effort to support the Rhode Island Community Food Bank.
Our goal is ambitious but attainable: we hope to raise $1,000 to aid in their crucial work.

The Food Bank is a cornerstone in the struggle against hunger, providing sustenance to over 63,000 residents of our state each month through a robust network of 140 partner agencies, including food pantries and various programs that feed the young and vulnerable.

Our commitment to eliminating hunger is steadfast, and we invite you to stand with us.

A donation of any amount can help move us toward a future where no Rhode Islander faces the uncertainty of their next meal.

Together, we can fortify our community and ensure that the pangs of hunger are met with the comfort of community care.

Thank You To

Protect Your Data: Tips to Avoid Falling Victim to Card Skimmers

Law enforcement in New Hampshire and Massachusetts are probing the appearance of card skimmers at major retail chains, with no incidents reported in Rhode Island yet.

Found at self checkout at Walmart and Market Basket, these devices capture payment information.

Police advise checking chip readers for malfunctions, hiding PINs, comparing card readers for discrepancies, looking for signs of tampering, and testing the reader's stability to prevent data theft.

URI Men’s Basketball

In Tuesday night's basketball game, Rhode Island triumphed over Wagner with a score of 69-53, maintaining a steady lead throughout the game thanks to effective rebounding and defense.

Key performances from Zek Montgomery and Jeremy Foumena in the first half helped the Rams build a substantial lead, which they sustained into the second half.

Despite Wagner's early second-half scores, Rhode Island's diverse scoring and solid defense kept the lead comfortably in double digits, culminating in a decisive dunk by Foumena.
