About Event
What if reducing food waste could also help your household save money?
Join Reyna Chavez, Health Educator with Ramsey County Environmental Health, for a practical conversation about waste-smart food habits and Ramsey County’s Food Scraps Pickup Program. Learn simple ways to plan, store, and use food more efficiently through the Save Food, Spend Less Challenge, along with sustainable options for managing the food scraps you can’t avoid.
Together, these efforts can help families save money, reduce waste sent to landfills, and make the most of the food they already have.

Why is Sustainable Stillwater MN supporting this event?
SSMN believes sustainability starts with practical choices that benefit both people and the places we call home. Reducing food waste is a great example—it can stretch household budgets, conserve resources, reduce landfill waste, and contribute to a healthier St. Croix Valley. We’re glad to support this conversation and share resources that make sustainable living more accessible and achievable.
