September is Hunger Action Month, a nationwide campaign led by Feeding America. As part of the month-long campaign, Arlington EATS is partnering with Food Link and the Arlington Libraries to raise awareness and inspire action.

• Join us for a screening of A Place at the Table on Thursday, September 12 at 6:30 pm at the Robbins Library Community Room. Afterwards, join in a discussion led by Parke Wilde — a Tufts Friedman School professor, food economist, and nationally-recognized researcher on the economics of nutrition assistance programs and food security in low-income U.S. communities.
• For families with young children, the Robbins and Fox Libraries have various story hours centered around food during the week of September 9.
• Check our educational resources for the whole family
• Vote! If you are not already registered to vote, stop by Arlington EATS, 117 Broadway, on Tuesday, September 17 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. for National Voter Registration Day. Registration will be provided by the League of Women Voters.
• Sign up for Advocacy Alerts from the Greater Boston Food Bank
• You can donate time or money. A donation of $50 will purchase 40 pounds of food for an Arlington family.
• You can donate non-perishable items to Arlington EATS. This month we are focusing on:
  • Cooking Oil

  • Jam & Jelly
  • Cereal Bars
  • Pretzels
