Last night we had the pleasure of attending Federal Hill House Association Food Pantry & Community Hub’s inspiring event – Cultivate: From Ingredients to Opportunity. We heard their visions for the future, including bridging broader community support through our pantry operations. To top off a great night – we enjoyed a tasting menu prepared by talented local chefs and made from commonly available pantry ingredients!

🎉Wow – we are truly blown away by the results of the Rhody Regatta fundraising! This event raised over $10,000 for our mission! 🎉

Thank you so much to the IYAC Newport, RI and everyone who participated in the Rhody Regatta. A special thank you to Steve Eddleston, a boat captain and MOWRI Volunteer, who connected us to this opportunity because of his passion for our mission and hands-on experience as a volunteer driver – thank you, Steve!

We are deeply appreciative of the group’s generous spirits, competitive edge, and commitment to giving back to the community. ⛵

This week we had the pleasure of attending the FIMCON (Food is Medicine Conference) in Washington, DC! This event was 2 full days of incredible programming, breakout sessions and networking opportunities.

MOWRI had the opportunity to discuss innovative action plans to integrate FIM approaches at the stave level to further drive federal implementation. We're bringing back a wealth of knowledge & new inspiration to our Food Is Medicine work in Rhode Island!

Last week's 2026 Annual Meeting celebrated impact, leadership, and momentum for what's next at MOWRI.

We welcomed new Board and Committee members, heard an inspiring strategy update from Executive Director Meg Grady, and highlighted our growing Food Is Medicine work advancing health and equity across Rhode Island.
