Saint Elizabeth Community's 4 for 4 Food Donation Program
Make a Difference, One Can at a Time.
What is the 4 for 4 Food Program?
The 4 for 4 program encourages donations of four non-perishable food items (non-glass), representing one item per week of the month. While we gladly accept more than four items, your contribution of four makes a meaningful difference.
All donations will be distributed to local food banks, including the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, helping families in need. In 2023, one in three families faced food insecurity, with 38% of those having children. The need is growing, and together, we can help.
Most Needed Non-Perishable Food Items (especially protein)
- Soups & Stews (canned or boxed)
- Pasta, Macaroni & Cheese (boxed, bagged, or canned)
- Breakfast Cereals
- Rice (Jasmine, yellow, basmati, white, brown)

In the Spirit of Saint Elizabeth:
The legend tells of a kind Queen Elizabeth, who each day at dawn, secretly gave bread to the hungry villagers despite the king’s disapproval. Miraculously, her bread transformed into roses in her basket, symbolizing her pure heart and generosity.
By donating to the 4 for 4 Program, you carry on this legacy of compassion and care for those in need.
