This year, as many as 40 million Americans will face hunger. One third of college students will be food insecure. While millions go hungry, our current food system in the U.S. allows over 100 billion pounds of food to go to waste.
On Tues, Nov. 14, The Farmlink Project will present the unreleased documentary in an event with local Connecticut partners Food Rescue US - Fairfield County, Sustainable Westport, Westport Farmers Market, and Wakeman Town Farm from 7:00 PM - 9:00pm at Christy & Holy Trinity Church in Westport, CT.
Join us for a welcome reception, followed by a documentary screening and panel discussion with local food system leaders and experts moderated by world-renowned Chef Michel Nischan, Wholesome Wave, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder, Wholesome Crave, CEO. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN OFFSITE EVENT (NOT AT THE FARM!)
