Bountiful Brookline and the Brookline Public Schools Food Services Department will co-host a public event for the fifth annual National Food Day on Sunday, October 25 from 2-5pm.  National Food Day is an opportunity to promote real food and to increase awareness of food issues and food access across America.

This event will feature a screening of the recently released film “Just Eat It,”  an entertaining, yet compelling exploration of food waste from field to landfill. Following the film a panel of local experts from food production, procurement and food recovery will discuss the impact of food waste on hunger, resources and the environment.

Hardy Snacks, local food raffles and resources to reduce our food waste will be offered.

This event will bring together folks from Brookline and beyond to learn, share ideas and become inspired to take action to improve food access, healthy eating and food waste impact.

Since it’s founding in 2009, Bountiful Brookline has successfully created and led community programming with local partners, to initiate and support local food growing and access throughout Brookline and beyond. As a community forum Bountiful Brookline seeks to Inform, inspire and impact growing settings and solutions for local food though public events and online resources.
