It’s about to get a whole lot easier to enjoy the iconic tastes of the Ocean State at home…

Dish Up RI is an initiative Hope & Main started to support our State’s vibrant restaurant community, which was struggling in the face of pandemic-imposed challenges. (This was made possible through a Federal CARES Act grant from Rhode Island Commerce Corporation)

With the help of community partners and industry experts, dozens of Rhode Island restaurants are now producing retail products that are available for sale at local grocers, specialty food stores, farmers markets, online stores, and more.

On Friday, May 21 local food advocates are invited to join us for an in-store celebration at Dave’s Fresh Marketplace in East Greenwich. Makers will be on-site to meet and greet their most devoted customers and to share more about what’s to come with these new additions to their offerings.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• Members of the food industry
• Local food advocates
