Mr. Potato Head Plates

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Mr. Potato Head, a favorite toy designed by Hasbro in Rhode Island, the state is issuing Mr. Potato Head license plates.

Continuing their strong commitment in the fight against hunger, Hasbro, Inc., manufacturer of Mr. Potato Head, has generously offered to donate all proceeds from the sale of these plates to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. For more information and an order form, please click here.

Pathway to End Hunger

The Pathway to End Hunger is an engraved brick walkway within the Food Bank, showcasing our community’s outstanding commitment to the goal of making Rhode Island hunger free. This is a wonderful and enduring way to show your support for the Food Bank.  It is also a great way to honor a special friend, or commemorate a loved one, as the bricks will be engraved with your preferred inscription (2 rows of up to 15 characters per row).
