PREMIERE FILM EVENT
On Thursday, May 2, 2013 join us for the Premiere Screening of the documentary film "Our Daily Bread", produced by the Beck Institute on Religion and Poverty.
In spite of being one of the richest cities in the world, one in five New York City residents use emergency food services (soup kitchens and food pantries) each year.
One out of four are children.
This film documents the work of three of the largest food programs in the city, serving over 1 million New Yorkers each year.
Each program began with someone knocking at the door of a neighborhood house of worship.
This 45 minute documentary film produced by The Beck Institute on Religion and Poverty documents the ground breaking, innovative work of three faith-based emergency food programs.
At the conclusion of the premiere screening, there will be a panel conversation with the audience on the topic of hunger in New York City, what is being done, and the work that remains ahead.
