  • Film Showing: "Just Getting By"
    7:00 pm-8:30 pm

    "Just Getting By" is a sweeping, and yet intimate look at the lives of Vermonters who are struggling with food and housing insecurity. Vermont has the second highest rate of homeless people in the United States, right after California. One third of Vermonters struggle to put food on the table. These are big issues for a small state. "Just Getting By" focuses on these issues in the lives of everyday people.
