Good Food. Good People. Good Neighbors.

At Good Neighbors, we believe everyone deserves access to healthy food—and that receiving help should always come with dignity, choice, and a sense of belonging.

Every week, neighbors walk through our doors for many different reasons. Some are working families trying to stretch their grocery budgets. Others are seniors living on fixed incomes, people experiencing homelessness, caregivers, veterans, or families facing an unexpected expense that has made it difficult to put enough food on the table.

Whatever brings someone to Good Neighbors, they are welcomed as a neighbor.

Through our choice Food Pantries and Community Kitchen, Good Neighbors provides free, nutritious food to thousands of people throughout East Providence and surrounding Rhode Island communities. With a small staff and an incredible community of volunteers, we work every day to make sure our neighbors have somewhere to turn when their needs exceed their means.

How All Fired Up! Began

All Fired Up! Community Kitchen Cook-Off is our signature annual fundraiser—and it isn't your typical fundraising event.

All Fired Up! brings together the people who make Good Neighbors special with the next generation of culinary talent in our community. Good Neighbors Community Kitchen volunteers team up with East Providence High School culinary students to create dishes, compete in two exciting tasting rounds, and serve hundreds of guests gathered in support of our mission.

The result is part cooking competition, part community celebration, and entirely Good Neighbors.

It is an evening filled with great food, friendly competition, laughter, and connection—but behind all the fun is an important purpose.

Every Bite Gives Back

All Fired Up! raises critical funds to support Good Neighbors and our work providing healthy food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity.

In 2025 alone, our Community Kitchen prepared 28,457 meals, while our Food Pantries welcomed 7,655 visits from 1,567 households representing more than 5,100 individuals. And as the cost of groceries, housing, utilities, and other essentials continues to strain household budgets, more of our neighbors are turning to us for support.

All Fired Up! helps make it possible for us to say yes when they do.

Our 2025 event welcomed approximately 300 guests and raised more than $50,000 for Good Neighbors. Each ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and contribution made helps keep our pantry shelves stocked, our kitchen cooking, and our doors open to anyone who needs us.

Come to the Table

There is something special about gathering around food. It connects us. It creates community. And at All Fired Up!, it helps ensure that our neighbors can gather around their own tables with the food they need.

Whether you're joining us as a guest, sponsoring the event, cheering on a team, or supporting Good Neighbors from afar, you're part of something bigger than one night.

You're helping build a community where neighbors support one another so that everyone can consistently enjoy healthy food.

That is what Good Neighbors is all about—and that is why we get All Fired Up!
