As you may have heard, the USDA will not release November funds to pay SNAP/Food Assistance benefits due to the current federal government shutdown. This means that even more of our community members will go without adequate amounts of food indefinitely.

With that said, the Exeter-West Greenwich Senior High School Student Council will be sponsoring a non-perishable Food Donation Drive, effective immediately.

Examples of items that are most needed are pasta sauce, rice, baking mixes, cereal, canned soup, condiments, pasta, canned meats/tuna, canned pasta meals, canned vegetables, cereal, broth/stock & more.

Donation boxes have been delivered to the main entrances of the Administration Building, Lineham, Wawaloam, Metcalf, the Jr. High, the Sr. High and the reception area of the Jr/Sr High labeled with the attached flyer. We will continue to collect until further notice to help fill The Exeter Food Bank as well as looking into the possibility of working with a West Greenwich agency.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Chef Anthony Votto at the Sr. High School, who is the Sr. High Student Council Advisor and Culinary Instructor. His email is anthony_votto@ewg.k12.ri.us.

Thank you in advance for your support!

A community-wide FREE vaccination clinic held on 10/9/25 AND 11/5/25 from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM in the Metcalf Elementary School cafeteria. Information on how to register for the clinic is

included in the attachment.

Here’s some important information about the FREE flu vaccine clinic:

Register online at schoolflu.com to schedule an appointment.

Online registration is strongly recommended to ensure enough vaccine is available for all who attend this

event.

Walk-ins will be limited on a first come, first served basis when resources are available.

Insurance information will be collected. However, people without insurance may also get vaccinated.

The vaccine is FREE with no out-of-pocket costs for anyone.

The flu is a serious, highly contagious, and sometimes deadly disease. Catching the flu usually results in missing

days of work and school. You might even have to spend time in the hospital.

Don’t take the risk — the flu

vaccine is your best protection against the flu and severe illness.

For more information, visit health.ri.gov/flu, or call the Rhode Island Department of Health InfoLine at

401-222- 5960 / Relay 711.
