The Providence Journal
Who served 1,287 pots of coffee, 470 meatball sandwiches and 130 pounds of American Chop Suey last year?
If you guessed the Providence Canteen, you were correct.
The volunteer organization, which supports first responders at fires and other emergencies in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, had one of its busiest years ever in 2020.
The pandemic contributed to the big numbers, as the canteen, among other missions, provided food for people who were quarantined in a Warwick hotel for several weeks, according to Paul O Rourke, the canteen director.
The nonprofit organization shared the numbers in a Facebook post.
The canteen responded to 248 working structure fires, 16 brush fires, 15 hazardous materials incidents and three police incidents, the canteen says in the post.
