Community Support Program

We are charging a $5 fee for each delivery to contribute to our Community Support Program.  Each month, the total of all delivery fees is presented to an individual, family or organization in our community, with hope of offering support in a time of need. Recipients of this program change regularly, as there are many needs in our community.

For The Month of November, All Delivery Charges Go To

Tap-In

The Holiday Program

Tap-In is an all-volunteer organization in Barrington, RI whose goal is “to enhance the lives of East Bay residents by offering resources that combat food insecurity and economic challenges.”  Founded by 6 women in 1983 who imagined a better quality of life for their neighbors, Tap-In serves residents in Barrington, Bristol, East Providence, and Warren.

Families can access food, children’s clothing, household items, furniture, toys and gifts through a variety of services and programs offered.  Food delivery is offered to clients every 2 weeks if needed. Transportation to medical appointments is also available.

The Holiday Program helps families purchase the basics for a holiday dinner. Each family receives stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, a brownie mix, a gift card to Shaw’s and a gift card to a dollar store for the rest of their needs.

Tap-In appreciates the generous financial donations and grants it receives from community members, businesses, schools, worship places, and other civic entities that keep it funded.  They are also grateful for the support from individual households, local companies, schools, and other civic organizations who hold food drives and provide donations.

Tap-In served 794 families during The Holiday Program in 2024. We look forward to contributing to this year’s Holiday Program.  Monetary donations are preferred for The Holiday Program and can be mailed to Tap-In, Inc, PO Box 252, Barrington, RI 02806 by December 19, 2025.  For volunteering information, food donation guidelines and other items needed on an ongoing basis, please visit www.tapinri.org.
