Scrappy Cooking

with the Marion County Public Health Department

2024-09-10 14:00:00 2024-09-10 15:00:00 America/Indiana/Indianapolis Scrappy Cooking 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. Southport Branch -

Tuesday, September 10
2:00pm - 3:00pm

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

The Southport Branch began in 1967 as a small storefront in the Madison Square Shopping Center. Following acquisition of a site for a larger facility, the new 15,700-square-foot library opened in 1974 on East Stop 11 Road. Even before the move occurred, a group of Perry Township residents demonstrated support by raising more than $5,000 to provide additional books for the new library.
