Celebrate the season’s bounty at Peters Township Public Library’s eighth annual Local Foods Potluck Dinner at 6 p.m. Aug. 11.

Doors open at 5:45 p.m.

For this year’s free event, the library’s GO Green Club is partnering with Farm to Table Western Pennsylvania, whose goal is to bridge the gap between consumers and local food producers.

Those who attend are asked to bring a prepared potluck dish of six to eight servings made with homegrown or locally grown foods and share your recipe with the group.

Globally, up to 40 percent of food produced is wasted. During the dinner, a representative from 412 Food Rescue will explain how the organization works with volunteers to prevent perfectly good food from entering the waste stream.

Registration is required at ptlibrary.org/events or by calling 724-941-9430, ext. 1, by Aug. 9.
