Please join us at Champlain College Auditorium for the final film in our September Screening Series. The Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS) is partnering with Champlain College to bring the community 3 documentary films discussing poverty, hunger, and homelessness in the community.

The final film we're screening is A Place at the Table (http://www.magpictures.com/aplaceatthetable/). Join us on September 24th at 6pm for this community screening! Walk-ins welcome!

Each film will be followed by a community discussion about the issues each film explores. We hope you'll join us in thinking about how we can address these kinds of issues in our own community! Admission and concession by donation.

A Place at the Table Film Synopsis: 50 million people in the United States -- one in four children -- don't know where their next meal is coming from, despite our having the means to provide nutritious, affordable food for all Americans.

Directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush examine this issue through the lens of three people who are struggling with food insecurity: Barbie, a single Philadelphia mother who grew up in poverty and is trying to provide a better life for her two kids; Rosie, a Colorado fifth-grader who often has to depend on friends and neighbors to feed her and has trouble concentrating in school; and Tremonica, a Mississippi second-grader whose asthma and health issues are exacerbated by the largely empty calories her hardworking mother can afford. Their stories are interwoven with insights from experts.
