Delia Denis of Minnesota GreenCorps is representing Rice County in a Food Waste Reduction Challenge to begin January 21. Participants can learn how to reduce food waste in your household and compete with others in Rice County. During this five-week challenge, test out different food-saving methods and find out what works best for you. Keep an eye out for event and prize announcements. To participate, register at Food Waste Challenge Registration. Participation is free.
Two meetings in Rice County will provide more information about the challenge and an opportunity for participants to ask questions. Meetings are as follows:
- 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 13 at the Buckham Memorial Library, 11 Division St., Faribault
- 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 13 at the Northfield Public Library, 210 Washington St., Northfield
