Join us in person at Mt. Abe for a Screening & Discussion of "Just Getting By" with Vermont Filmmaker Bess O'Brien!
"Just Getting By" is a sweeping, and yet intimate look at the lives of Vermonters who are struggling with food and housing insecurity.
Vermont has the second highest rate of homeless people in the United States, right after California. One third of Vermonters struggle to put food on the table. These are big issues for a small state. Just Getting By focuses on these issues in the lives of everyday people.
The film tells the stories of working families, folks who are homeless and are accessing food shelves and soup kitchens, people who are living in the temporary hotel/motel program, New Americans grappling with the cost of living in America, Native people creating innovative farming practices and folks on the ground providing services to their fellow Vermonters in need.
To support our neighbors who face food insecurity, please bring one of the non-perishable items below to donate to our local Have A Heart Food Shelf:
Peanut butter
Beans (kidney, black)
Chicken Noodle Soup
