Roundtable Talks
To remain transparent and inclusive in our work, FRN hosts public learning Roundtable Talks twice per year where we invite our entire network to advise on annual goals and share our data on progress toward those goals. We also include our analysis of the data to inform the broader movement of food recovery. These conversations, in turn, allow us to adjust our programming to better reflect the interests of our nationwide network and meet the needs of those who we seek to serve in communities across the U.S.
For a deeper understanding of these conversations, read our “What are FRN’s Roundtable Talks?” blog post.
