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

"After a couple of years of my wife and my two sons being homeless ourselves, we decided that we were gonna start a project that fed people where they were regardless of how they got there" - George L.

"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.

Our approach transforms traditional food assistance into an empowering experience to recognize that food insecurity can touch anyone's life.
