St Edward Food and Wellness Center

St. Edward Food and Wellness Center, operated by Saint Anthony Church, began serving Providence's North End on March 26, 2003, in response to hunger in this historically underserved area. The center distributes groceries and supplies to families in need through a client-choice model that allows individuals to select the food items that best suit their families. With children and elderly residents comprising the majority of their clients, the organization continues to expand its mission to address food insecurity across Providence and nearby North Providence.
