MOST RECENT PRESS & PRAISE
West Warwick, RI (August 4, 2026) — The Centreville Bank Charitable Foundation is proud to support the launch of a new Mobile Food Pantry in Central Falls, a community-driven initiative led by the Central Falls Foundation that will bring fresh, nutritious food directly into neighborhoods throughout the city.
The Mobile Food Pantry was created to help address food insecurity and improve access to healthy food for residents who may face transportation, mobility, or other barriers. By bringing food directly into the community, the program will help ensure seniors, families, and vulnerable residents have more consistent access to essential resources.
As one of Rhode Island's most densely populated communities, Central Falls faces unique challenges related to food access. Through this partnership, the Centreville Bank Charitable Foundation joins local leaders and community organizations in investing in practical solutions that improve quality of life and strengthen the community.
LINCOLN – Down the winding path of Sycamore Landing, young people who have never seen a fish up close try their hand at practice poles before being handed the real thing.
They laugh as they cast and see their first couple throws land mere feet in front of them, but it doesn’t take long to hit their stride, aided by volunteer tutors. Some hooks end up in the trees at the shoreline, but the chore of untangling them is all part of the learning process here.
