LET’S BUILD A MORE JUST AND RESILIENT FOOD SYSTEM FOR ALL RHODE ISLANDERS!
By working together, we can ensure everyone’s voices are heard, and that Rhode Island’s food system-based policies and programs serve all Rhode Islanders.
RIFPC volunteers are essential! They help grow relationships across industry, government, community-based organizations, and non-governmental organization sectors, they help develop and advocate for state and local policy priority changes, and they support RIFPC on projects and programs that create a more just and resilient state food system.
We want to work with people who are motivated to make a difference, interested in connecting and learning with others, and want to collaborate on achieving shared goals. No prior experience in advocacy or policy is required!
BE AN ON-CALL ADVOCATE
These volunteers stay at-the-ready to share their perspectives and raise their voices to be heard by legislators, neighbors, and loved ones. They write emails and letters, make phone calls and send text messages, and share information with their community to rally more support for policy changes that align with our mission.
Anyone can join, anytime!
JOIN THE COUNCIL
Volunteers participating in work groups make up the Council. They meet regularly and collaborate closely, building and implementing advocacy strategies to meet the challenges and demands of each of our annual policy priorities
We use social media to connect and share our work with as many Rhode Islanders as possible. By following, liking, commenting on, and sharing our posts, you play an active role in moving our mission forward and making sure the right voices are heard.
