Share food and drinks with us for an intimate evening reception starting at 6:00 PM on December 4 with close partners and allies of Croatan Institute, followed by a community screening of two films. This is a great opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals passionate about sustainability, social justice, and innovative solutions.
We are excited to be hosting with catering provided by Fresh Food Generation, a restaurant, food truck and catering company sourcing locally and seasonally.
You will also have a chance to enter our raffle (see details below). Tickets will be available for purchase at the event for $25 (cash, check, and exact change only).
We are thrilled to be premiering a new short film produced by our team with support from Patagonia and Waverley Street Foundation, Soil Wealth: Investing in Regenerative Agriculture. We will also be screening the new documentary Digging In produced by Sustainable Agriculture & Food System Funders (SAFSF), focused on the US agricultural system and who controls our food and farmers. Thanks to the support of Climate Action Brookline, we are able to open the film screenings to our local community.
Co-producer of the Digging In documentary (plus narrator of the Soil Wealth film) and Croatan Institute Board member Masika Henson will join our newest Board Member Lisa Woll along with Board Member William J. Barber III and team members in a lively panel on the films and the role Croatan Institute has played in advancing the role of finance to create change.
