Food security – having enough to eat – is a statewide problem that only increased in the wake of COVID 19, according to national hunger-relief organization Feeding America. In Guilford County alone, the food insecurity rate is nearly 14 percent.

Luckily, many are hungry to help.

N.C. A&T, Cooperative Extension at N.C. A&T and the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners have partnered to host documentary screening and panel discussion centering around food security – who has it, who needs it, and what policy-makers, educators, community organizations and students can do to help.

The event will be held 5-8 pm Sept. 7 at the N.C. A&T University Farm Pavilion, 3020 McConnell Road in Greensboro. Refreshments will be served at 5 p.m., followed by a screening of the award-winning documentary “Resilience: Food for All” at 6 p.m.  A panel discussion will follow, featuring local elected leaders, experts, and stakeholders to explore the importance of food system resilience strategies for our communities and access to healthy food.
