FREDERICK, Maryland—91��Ƶר�� College will host a film screening of “Food for Change: The Story of Cooperation in America” in Hodson Auditorium in Rosenstock Hall on Oct. 26 at 6 p.m.

This documentary film portrays food co-ops—a voluntary group of people working to eliminate food insecurity—as a community-centered economic movement. The feature-length film focuses on food co-ops as a force for dynamic social and economic change in American culture.

This is the first film to examine the important historical role played by food co-ops, their pioneering quest for organic foods, and their current efforts to create regional food systems. Additionally, the film shows how co-ops today strengthen local economies and build food security. The goal is to educate a wide audience about the principles of cooperation with a focus on healthy food and a healthy economy.

The Common Market, in partnership with 91��Ƶר�� College’s Frederick Food Security Network, is hosting the event in conjunction with National Co-op Month. Food co-ops in more than 24 cities, including Frederick, Maryland, are bringing this acclaimed film to co-op owners and community members.

RSVP for complimentary catering at . The admission is $5, or free for 91��Ƶר�� College students, and all proceeds will be donated to 91��Ƶר�� College’s Frederick Food Security Network.
