Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick Donates to Rhode Island Community Food Bank
CCK Law: Our Vital Role in Veterans Law
Through November and December 2023, Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick held a canned and non-perishable food drive. The CCK team donated the collected goods to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank.
The Rhode Island Community Food Bank seeks to improve Rhode Islanders’ quality of life by advancing short-term and long-term solutions to hunger. There are many ways people can get involved with the organization, including:
- Making financial donations
- Organizing food drives
- Creating fundraisers
The Rhode Island Community Food Bank partners with member agencies to meet the immediate need for food assistance and collaborate on innovative ways to reduce the need.
This winter, CCK committed to contributing to this partnership and giving back to the local community. By the end of the food drive, staff had filled multiple donation boxes with non-perishable food items. This firm-wide service project is a reflection of CCK’s dedication to helping those in need.
As a public interest law firm, CCK actively assists people in many aspects of life and particularly in times of need. CCK’s longtime work in veterans law, ERISA law and insurance litigation, and personal injury law has introduced the firm to countless clients who need a fierce advocate.
Rhode Island, like many states, has struggled with poverty and homelessness. The Rhode Island food bank reports that 12.4 percent of households (i.e. 1 in 8 families) in the state are “food insecure,” while 5.6 percent have “very low food security.” As a result, these families struggle with hunger on a daily basis.
CCK will take part in this donation project annually, in an effort to continuously seek ways to improve the lives of those in the community and provide assistance where people need it.
