Dear Supporter,
I’m thrilled to announce that the New York City Coalition Against Hunger will be holding a series of screenings and panel discussions on an important new film about hunger in America, “A Place at the Table.” The screenings are made possible through a generous
grant from the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund and will be available at no cost for people with limited incomes.
Participant Media – the film company that brought us
Lincoln, An Inconvenient Truth, The Help, Food Inc. and
Waiting for Superman – is behind this ground-breaking new movie on hunger in America, which Magnolia pictures is releasing on March 1
st. I’m featured in the film, along with other activists such as Witness to Hunger’s Mariana Chilton, Top
Chef’s Tom Colicchio and Oscar®-winning actor Jeff Bridges. The first screening will take place on Saturday, March 2
nd at 7 p.m. at the Sunshine Cinema. For more information, or to register, click

Come learn more about hunger in America and New York City – and concrete steps you can take to build a nation where everyone has access to affordable, nutritious food. I hope you can join us!
Sincerely,
Joel Berg
Executive Director
