Mobile Loaves and Fishes is a joint ministry run by many churches and organizations in RI in an effort to have the truck on the road as many days as possible to provide food, clothing, toiletries, etc, and promote dignity, to our homeless brothers and sisters in need. Open Table of Christ UMC brings this truck to Crossroads, Providence, RI in an effort to provide a free meal to the homeless and the working poor. We also supply gently used seasonal clothing.The needs are so great that it is difficult to describe. If you want to volunteer on the second Wednesday of each month, please contact Wendy 401-941-2212 or email wendy02771@yahoo.com
Please fill out the form at the right and we will have someone contact you about how you can get involved.
