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 first library to serve the neighborhood opened in 1957 as the Emerson Branch. This frame house near East 38th Street and North Emerson Avenue soon became too small to meet the neighborhood's needs, leading to the construction of a 7,500-square-foot branch at the same location in 1962. The Emerson Branch closed its doors in 2003 when the current 16,000-square-foot library opened as the East Thirty-Eighth Street Branch.
