“Restaurants and Food Vendors Work Sustainably”, the third of four presentations in an informational series entitled “Wasted Food: Challenges and Community Solutions”, will be offered on Tuesday, October 28, noon to 2 p.m. at Nativity Lutheran Church, 179 Old County Road, in Rockport. 

This presentation features Chef/owner Melody Wolfertz of In Good Company restaurant, Rockland Hannaford manager Kristin White, and Membership and Outreach Coordinator Elissa Bower of the Good Tern Co-op and Hole in the Wall Bagels.

Take your questions and experience to the discussion of how food vendors can make a difference in addressing the challenge of wasted food in a state that has significant levels of food insecurity among its people.  

This presentation will be followed by the final presentation in the series, “Reducing Food Waste at Home”, on November 8 (Saturday), 10 a.m. to noon at Nativity Lutheran Church.  Retired SNAP Nutrition Educator/former owner of Amalfi restaurant, Nancy Wood, and Cindy Wright of the Knox-Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation District, will speak about ways to prepare and store food and tips for composting food scraps year round in your in-town or rural home or apartment. 

The events in this series are free and open to all.  For more information, email olliejones@gmail.com or visit nativityrockport.org .
