Is there somewhere I could take it and just leave it? I know companies don't usually do it because of liability or whatever. Where can I take this? I'm not from here; I'm sorry if this seems like an obvious answer. Thank you in advance!

It depends on the company. Some don't let you and make you toss it. Find out what the policy is before doing anything so you won't lose your job.

The To Good To Go app is available in Providence. I installed the app, but haven't tried it yet. It's a great idea, though.

It's a win win for businesses and customers. And a win for the environment.

There’s a community pantry outside Urban Greens

Love this idea! There are little free pantries elsewhere, including at the old fire station on mineral spring avenue in NP.

There’s a community fridge outside Project Weber/Renew (wonderful gold standard harm reduction agency on Broad Street) - see @pvdcommunityfridge on instagram

I've taken food to Amos House and to people hanging around outside of crossroads (the homeless shelter). The organizations can't necessarily accept it but that doesnt stop a hungry individual :).

Food Not Bombs Providence (they are on FB) is also a good option!

St Patricks Church on Smith Hill has a food pantry & also does a nice community meal on Mondays.
