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

Following years of volunteer-staffed service in an empty church building, a permanent library serving Franklin Township, the Wanamaker Branch, opened in 1969 on Southeastern Avenue. To meet the needs of a rapidly growing township, the branch was replaced in 2000 by the current 18,000-square-foot Franklin Road Branch.
