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.
The 22,000 square foot Fort Ben Branch provides easy access to Library services and collections due to its location in a high-traffic community with access to public transportation. It includes community meeting spaces and study rooms, beautiful landscaping components, and walk-up, bike-up, and drive-up material return locations. Its roof-top solar photovoltaic system will provides 80% of the building's electricity needs. The Library was envisioned as part of a redevelopment plan since the land was decommissioned and transitioned from the U.S. military to the City of Indianapolis in the 1990s.
The Branch is the first library branch in the state of Indiana to become a Certified Autism Center™ by receiving an international autism accreditation through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).
