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 Broad Ripple community has enjoyed library service at various sites since 1930. The first stand-alone library opened in 1949 adjacent to School No. 80 and continued at that location until a larger branch opened in Broad Ripple Park in 1986. Facing a need for continued growth, the Glendale Branch was constructed in 2000 in Glendale Mall and became the country’s first full-service library located in a major shopping mall.
In 2024, a new 24,800 square-foot Branch located at the site of the former John Strange Elementary School opened. The move into this new space began the next chapter of service to the vibrant Glendale community.
