We invite you to join us for our Annual Gathering and Film Screening of 'Ramen Day.' This event is a time to gather and thank you–our community– for your support this past year.
We will begin the evening with small bites and time for socializing, then move into a brief overview of our year and screening of the film ‘Ramen Day.’ We’ll close out the evening with a panel Q&A with filmmaker Corey Hendrickson, Karen White of the Woodstock Food Shelf, and other organizations to discuss the growing issue of food insecurity in our community and how we can each help make a difference.
About the Film:
RAMEN DAY tells the story of Vermonters coming together to create program that responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by preparing and distributing locally sourced meals made from local ingredients – as well as sharing the stories of many who benefitted from these meals. The Vermont Everyone Eats program ran for 34 months from August of 2020 until March 31 of 2023. The program fed more than 3.9 million meals to Vermonters while bringing in more than 70 million dollars to the Vermont economy on top of the 49 million provided for the program by the governor, legislature, and Federal resources.
