This Sunday, April 28th, Congressman Ted Deutch will host a free screening of the documentary film A Place at the Table.  The film examines the issue of hunger in America by telling the story of three people struggling with food insecurity.  In America fifty million people—including one in four children—don’t know where their next meal will come from, and when they do, it is often unhealthy and lacking in nutrition.  Floridians experience food insecurity at a rate 16.2% higher than the national average.  Congressman Deutch believes that this film is important for all Americans to see, as it is a moving portrayal of our losing battle with hunger and highlights our need to enact policies that will improve Americans' access to healthy, nutritious food. Admission to the screening is free of charge.  

Following the screening, a panel of national and local experts on hunger issues will join Congressman Deutch for discussion with the audience. Panelists include:

• Julie Kreafle, South Florida Program Coordinator, Florida Impact
• Ellen Teller, Director of Government Affairs, Food Research & Action Center (FRAC), Washington, D.C.  
• Pam Cahoon, Executive Director, C.R.O.S. Ministries, Perry Borman, Executive Director, Palm Beach County Food Bank, Palm Beach County 
• Darlene Moppert, Program Manager, Nutrition Education and Training, Broward County School District
• Brian Quail, CEO, Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County
