Bucket Course: Fighting Food Waste, Feeding Community

Overview

Fighting Food Waste, Feeding Community Presented by Volunteers of the Grinnell Food Recovery Network.

Every week, dedicated volunteers with the Grinnell Food Recovery Network rescue surplus food from campus dining and local partners, redirecting it to community organizations that serve those in need. Learn how this student-led effort tackles food waste, supports food security in Grinnell, and connects neighbors through the simple act of sharing meals. Volunteers from the local chapter will share stories of their work and the impact it has made right here in our community.

Bucket Courses are free educational programs held in the Katherine Howell Weingart ’61 Civic Innovation Pavilion at Renfrow Hall (1033 Broad St.) and coordinated through a group dedicated to life-long learning – Grinnell College in collaboration with the Bucket Course committee. This series of weekly classes explores specific topics taught by experts in their fields, including Grinnell College professors, medical professionals, and career scientists. Topics have included history, psychiatry, music, science, biotechnology, philosophy, theatre, astronomy, religion, and classics.

All Classes held on Wednesdays from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. No preregistration required, no fee to attend, and everyone is welcome.
