The OFFICIAL Bottlerocket Book Club makes its return with a NEW book, and a NEW host organization for the month of MAY!

We’ll be meeting in the bar to discuss the BOOK OF THE MONTH, enjoying some cocktails (or mocktails) and having a great time! This is an inclusive event, and all are welcome- even if it’s been a while since you’ve read anything!

Whether you’re a bookworm or just generally seeking community and want to join a new club, this is your chance! This month is for the our Economics aficionado - "BIG HUNGER: THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE BETWEEN CORPRATE AMERICA AND ANTI-HUNGER GROUPS" by authour Andrew Fisher. Released 2018, published by MIT Press.

Book blurb:

Food banks and food pantries were meant to be a stopgap measure, but manufacturing jobs never came back, recession followed, and the “emergency food system” became an industry.

In Big Hunger, author Andrew Fisher argues that many key anti-hunger advocates are missing an essential element of the problem: economic inequality driven by low wages. His research finds that efforts to end hunger, reduce obesity, and reform farm subsidies are compromised by corporate interests.

Encouragingly, Big Hunger sets forth a vision for what we can do to put food banks out of business and solve hunger.
