In November 2007, the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger (VTCECH) debuted a new documentary on hunger in Vermont and its myriad solutions: Every Child. Every Day. On November 29th, the Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center hosted the film's exciting premiere, where over 200 community members and leaders from the business, non-profit, and political sectors came together for the film's first public showing. Debuting amid Thanksgiving and the winter holiday season, Every Child. Every Day. poignantly reminds us of the devastating effects of chronic hunger and malnutrition, featuring anecdotes from real Vermonters. More importantly, it shows how the comprehensive "safety net" of public health programs, nutrition education, and emergency food services can put a stop to childhood hunger in Vermont. Joanne Heidkamp from the VCTECH will show the movie and lead short discussions after the film, as well as answer any questions that people might have about the local non-profit and hunger in Vermont.
