This event dramatizes the world's unequal distribution of food. Attendees are randomly assigned to one of three socio-economic levels, representing the proportional global standards of living. Several participants will enjoy a full-course meal complete with excellent services, others will sit in a simple setting and eat a meager meal, and the remaining group will share rice and beans.
Tickets: $10 + a food item for the local food pantries.
Funds will be used to cover the cost of the meal.
Excess funds will be donated to the United Way.
Checks should be made out to the Council of Social Agencies.

Storied Streets explores homelessness across America by telling the stories of those who live it every day. The documentary film profiles the homeless and the formerly homeless and their struggle to survive. Their stories are real, raw and compelling. The film will provide a window into their struggles, question stereotypes and change the way you feel about homelessness.
"The more people we talk to who know homelessness first hand -families, veterans, young adults - the more I realize that they live lives very similar to mine and yours. When I hear how they have come to find themselves homeless, I know
|
we could all be just a few missteps away from finding ourselves in the same situation. And as they struggle to get out, the rest of society sees them as a nuisance or an eye soar, if they even see them at all."
Thomas Morgan, Producer/Director
