St. Anthony Dining Room Keeps It Green
St. Anthony Dining Room believes every day should be Earth Day.
Every healthy and filling dish is created with 4,500 pounds of reclaimed food to serve 2,700 meals. Food that would otherwise thrown away such as second-harvest produce, or day old baked goods gets a second chance for usefulness at St. Anthony’s.
In addition to a stringent recycling policy, at the end of each day St. Anthony Dining Room composts all of the waste food items (from preperation scraps to unfinished meals), in a model system of ongiong efficency and sustainability. 70% of the waste matter of St. Anthony Dining Room is composted or recycled, which is used to enrich the soil at local farms.
Our values of respectful resource management and the conscious efforts of personal and material sustainability are an intrinsic part of the operations and culture of St. Anthony Dining Room.
