Join Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD) staff as they show you how to make delicious makeover dishes out of food that might otherwise go into the trash.

Did you know that Americans waste about 25% of the food they purchase at the grocery?  When you consider most families spend between $250-$300 a week on groceries the amount of wasted food that goes into the landfills could pay for a family vacation.  Wilted greens?  Stale bread? Leftover takeout cluttering the fridge?  Join MCPHD staff as they show you how to make delicious makeover dishes out of food that might otherwise go into the trash.

MCPHD offered a similar class at the library a few years ago. Check out this book list about Preventing Food Waste.

Made possible by Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.

About the branch

Opened in 2021, this branch encompasses 24,000-square-feet and fills a service gap in the growing Perry Township community. Patrons will find a varied collection of materials at the branch, including materials in Spanish and children’s Burmese language materials to support the diverse community of immigrants who live on Indy’s south side.

Amenities include a community meeting room that can hold 203 guests, a fireplace, a marketplace, computer stations, a children's and teen zone, and an inviting outdoor patio space.
