Alice Howard is the founder and Executive Director of Sunrise Forever, Inc, a non-profit in Providence, Rhode Island serving the Liberian community. This is part two of our two-part series on a seafood donation program in Rhode Island, created following increased food insecurity and disrupted seafood supply chains in the early weeks and months of the pandemic. Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee communities disproportionately face food insecurity. These communities also prefer whole, fresh fish and value the diversity of species caught in local waters, which don't always make it to local stores. Today, Sunrise Forever Inc. serves over 300 families on a weekly basis.
