No Food to Landfill, Challenge Yourself!

St. Francis Pledge Ministry (St. Columba's Green Team) has been awarded a Community Outreach Grant
from StopWaste to help us reduce food waste at home and ultimately at church

No Food to Landfill, Challenge Yourself! 

• Do you know what's in your refrigerator?  
• Do you know how long it's been there?  
• Do you eat all the food you buy?  
• Does food spoil in your fridge?  
• Do you know how much food goes to waste?  
• Are you interested in reducing the amount of food you compost?  

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, please take the first two surveys linked below and follow us on Facebook and/or periodically check this webpage.
 
We also will host a few more workshops that include topics like food storage with reusables, gardening, and a meal demonstration.  Please stay tuned for dates and zoom links.

After January, we will circulate the final two surveys, so that participants can share how they have made changes to reduce food waste.  

Lastly, we will select and share experiences from a few participants on our social media platforms, practical inspiration can be a powerful way to motivate others!!!

Stay tuned for ways to win prizes!!!
