Support the Rhody Outpost Food Pantry

One in four URI students experiences food insecurity. The on-campus food pantry, Rhody Outpost, helps ensure that no Ram has to choose between putting food on the table and staying focused on their education. In the last year alone, the Outpost distributed over 45,000 pounds of food. This vital resource helps students meet their basic needs so they can focus on their education.

In addition to the main food pantry, students across campus have access to 10 "Little Rhody" mini food pantries stocked with snacks, quick meals, and grab-and-go items. With the support of the Rhody community, we can help ensure no Ram goes hungry. Your gift to RhodyNow: Rhody Outpost will help keep shelves stocked, resources available, and students supported when they need it most.

What your gift can do:

• $25: Provides a week's worth of grab-and-go snacks, like granola bars, for a Little Rhody Pantry.
• $100: Replenishes high-demand, nutricious food items at the Rhody Outpost.
• $500: Helps maintain a steady supply of food and essential pantry items, supporting URI students.
• $1000: Stocks the Rhody Outpost with convenient snacks and food options for students experiencing food insecurities.

Make your gift today, become an advocate, and spread the word to your family, friends, and peers. Together, we can help ensure every Ram has the resources they need to succeed and thrive.
