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 West Indianapolis Branch opened in 1897, following the annexation of West Indianapolis into the city of Indianapolis. A new building on West Morris Street, constructed with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, opened in 1912 and served the community until 1986, when the current 5,000-square-foot branch began service on South Kappes Street.
