The Elisha Project

Born from personal struggle, this initiative feeds more than empty stomachs—it feeds hope. Every bag of fresh produce isn't just food; it's a promise of a family meal, a taste of dignity, and a reflection of community strength. Want to witness compassion in action? Join us and see how a simple act of giving can transform lives. Because here, we don't just share food—we share humanity. #Humanity #Hope

"the ELISHA project is able to to give to households is food that first of all they're familiar with and it's healthy food so they're not falling into the trap where they're buying, you know, inexpensive food that's really bad for their health." - Frederick Sneesby, Administrator, Community Partnerships of RI Department of Human Services. We're committed to doing good with purpose—providing families with healthy and familiar food. We don't just want to give, we want to help provide access to nutritious food because nourishing communities starts with intentional action.

"It's critical to give people that dignified approach of being able to walk into what feels like a market environment" - Rose (Amoros) Jones of Aquidneck Community Table At the ELISHA project, we believe everyone deserves dignity in accessing food. Like Rose shares, we've created a welcoming market-style environment where neighbors can shop freely for groceries and essentials. Our approach transforms traditional food assistance into an empowering experience to recognize that food insecurity can touch anyone's life. Join us in restoring dignity while nourishing our community. Check out our website: https://elishaproject.org #Empowerment #theELISHAproject #Community #Dignity

Food is more than fuel - it's comfort, culture, and care. As Carolyn Belisle of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island powerfully reminds us, access to food must be meaningful, not just mechanical.

"It isn't just about making access to any type of food. It's about making access to the foods that are relevant, are important, that means something to families." - Carolyn Belisle, Director, Corporate Social Responsibility, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island. Food insecurity isn't solved by just providing any available food. It's solved by understanding the cultural and personal significance of the meals we share. Through our mobile food pantries and community events, we're bridging gaps and building connections, one meaningful meal at a time. We're the ELISHA project.
