Alameda Backyard Growers Host the free film 'A Place at the Table'

Alameda Backyard Growers present a FREE screening of the documentary 'A Place at the Table' on Sunday, October 12 from 2-4.

Did you know that 50 million Americans, including 1 in 4 children, don’t know where their next meal is coming from? A Place at the Table tells the powerful stories of three such Americans, who maintain their dignity even as they struggle just to eat. In a riveting journey that will change forever how you think about the hungry, A Place at the Table shows how the issue could be solved forever, once the American public decides—as they have in the past—that ending hunger is in the best interests of us all.
