Representative David Caprio, District 34, Narragansett, South Kingstown, hosted a successful Holiday Open House and was responsible for the donation and purchase of just under 2,000 pounds of food to the Jonnycake Center.
The Jonnycake Center runs an emergency food pantry in Peace Dale and provides food to individuals and families who are having a hard time making ends meet.
“I would like to thank the guests at my open house for their extreme generosity. They provided almost a ton of food for the Jonnycake Center. The services they provide at the center are essential to the well being of many people of our community. I am confident that the donated food helped make the holiday season enjoyable for many of our neighbors,” said Representative Caprio.
Over 250 guests stopped by including Congressman Jim Langevin, many of David’s colleagues from the General Assembly, and other elected officials from Narragansett and around the state.
