Grocery Assistance Program

At Every Moment Matters Initiative (EMMI), we believe no individual or family should have to worry about where their next meal will come from.

Our Grocery Assistance Program provides groceries to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship throughout Rhode Island. Through personalized grocery wishlists, we strive to help households access the food and everyday essentials they need.

Whether someone is experiencing a temporary financial setback or ongoing financial difficulties, our goal is to offer support, compassion, and a reminder that they are not alone.

How Our Grocery Assistance Program Works

1. Complete Our Grocery Wishlist

Submit a Grocery Assistance Wishlist with your contact information, household needs, and requested groceries, then email the form to info@everymomentsmatters.org.

2. Request Review

EMMI reviews each request based on eligibility, financial need, and available funding.

3. Grocery Shopping

Once approved, we purchase groceries based on the recipient's wishlist and available resources.

4. Grocery Delivery

We coordinate delivery arrangements with approved recipients.

Eligibility Requirements

To be considered for our Grocery Assistance Program, applicants must:

  • Be located in Rhode Island.

Please note that all requests are reviewed individually and are subject to available funding. Submitting a wishlist does not guarantee assistance.
