Food Recovery for Rhode Island (FRRI) is a community education program designed to address residential food waste through grassroots change. The mission is to amplify community\u2011led wasted food solutions through shared learning, dialogue, and collaborative action. Through education and experiential learning, participants build skills to choose food recovery strategies that work for their households. They then volunteer to support food rescue and recycling projects in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
