Rob Taylor, left, and Mark Shakelford, unload pallets of food delivered this morning by Ocean State Job Lot to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank as the annual holiday meal drive comes to an end. Donations exceeded 200,000 pounds, or 100 tons. Today's delivery consisted of cans of vegetables, tomato sauce, rice cereal, pasta, baked beans and fruit. The Food Bank feeds approximately 40,000 Rhode Islanders each month through a network of 285 agency programs.
