Public Showing of Documentary "A Place at the Table"

Fifty million people in the United States—including one in five children—suffer from hunger and do not get enough to eat on a regular basis to be healthy and active. Lake Shore Unitarian is partnering with the Winnetka Public Library to host a public showing of the documentary “A Place at the Table,” to help spark dialogue about hunger and obesity in the United States right here in our community. “A Place at the Table” follows the story of three families and shows us how hunger and obesity pose serious economic, social and cultural implications for our nation.

The event is sponsored by Lake Shore Unitarian Society, an open-minded community that embrace values shared by the world’s major religions as well as a set of principles that include justice, peace, compassion, and the inherent worth of every human being. For more information, please visit www.LakeShoreUnitarian.org.

The event is free and open to the public. Attendees are asked to bring a nonperishable food item to benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
