“A Place at the Table”, a Film about Hunger in America

Please join North Shore Community College, North Reading Food Pantry and Gathering Change, Inc. for a free showing of the film: "A Place at the Table" Monday, June 24th, 6:30 pm at North Shore Community College/ Danvers Campus, 1 Ferncroft Road, Danvers. 

 Come to learn more about hunger in America and in our communities, and to discuss concrete steps we can take together to ensure that everyone has access to reasonably priced, nutritious food.

50 million people in the U.S. -- one in four children -- and many of our neighbors don't know where their next meal is coming from.  "A Place at the Table" tells the stories of three people dealing with hunger in their lives, and provides insights from experts and activists such as Witness to Hunger's Mariana Chilton, Top Chef's Tom Colicchio and Oscar-winning actor Jeff Bridges.  The movie shows us how hunger creates serious, economic, social and cultural implications for our nation, and that it could be solved once and for all, if we make healthy food available and affordable. 

Please consider bringing a monetary donation or a grocery gift card.  All proceeds including gift cards will be divided among food pantries attending the event.
