Special showing of Food Inc. is Foodraiser for Inter-Faith Food Shuttle

Mark your calendar for now for the special showing of Food Inc. on
Saturday, July 18th, at the Colony Theater in Raleigh, NC. Doors will
open at 10:30 a.m., the program starts at 10:50, and the film will start
promptly at 11:00.

The suggested minimum donation for tickets will be $10, with $6 going to
the theater for the actual ticket price and the other $4 or more to be a
donation to the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. The Food Shuttle has been
fighting hunger in the greater Triangle area for 20 years. It gets
wholesome, nutritious food into the hands of hungry people through a
variety of programs, including community gardens, and offers Operation
Frontline classes that teach nutrition, cooking, and household
budgeting.

The proceeds will mainly go to the Food Shuttle in the form of
organically grown fruits and vegetables from Coon Rock Farm, a
sustainable family farm providing just outside of Hillsborough, NC. Some
money will also be used to provide kitchen equipment for families to
help them cook good meals at home, such as baking dishes, slow cookers,
and cutting boards.

Come early or linger after the show so you can:

a.. Check out a CSA box from Coon Rock Farm's Community Supporter
Agriculture program that allows people to subscribe to weekly produce or
meat deliveries
b.. Buy the book Food, Inc. and a few related titles, with Quail Ridge
Books donating 20% of the sales to the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle
c.. Learn about the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association and other
promoters of sustainable food systems in our region.

Just before the show, you'll be able to hear a few words about Whole
Foods' new 5-Step Animal Welfare program, now being tested in North
Carolina, and get a big welcome from Cook for Good, which is
coordinating this event as part of an ongoing effort to fight against
hunger and to inspire people to eat in ways that promote their own
health and the health of the planet.

Stay after the film for a Q&A session. Farmer Richard Holcomb of Cook
Rock Farm will lead the discussion about farming and food-production
practices in our region. Richard is also co-owner of the award-winning
local restaurant Zely & Ritz, so he really understands the whole
farm-to-fork cycle.

According to its website, Food Inc. "exposes America's industrialized
food system and its effect on our environment, health, economy, and
workers' rights."

Thanks to our generous sponsors for this foodraiser!
Coon Rock Farm is making a major donation of produce to the Food Shuttle
as well as providing the produce that will be purchased with the funds
raised by this event. Whole Foods is making a major donation in funds
and is also donating meat raised using their 5-Step Animal Welfare
Program. Whole Foods is also helping to publicize this event, including
designing and printing the posters. Thanks so much to both of you!
