Charity Screening Of New Animated Comedy

March 27, 2013

The-Croods-Poster-8The Eliza DoLittle Society [TEDS] is presenting a fund-raising screening of the new Dreamworks movie “The Croods” on Saturday [Mar. 30].

An animated comedy adventure set in the pre-historic era, “The Croods” follows the world’s first family as they embark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed.

Travelling across a spectacular landscape, the Croods discover an incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures — and their outlook is changed forever.

The movie starts at 10am at Liberty Theatre and tickets are $15 per person, including the movie, popcorn, drink and snack.

To reserve seats, contact info@elizadolittle.bm and pay at the door.

Moviegoers are also asked to bring non-perishable food items for TEDS’ Food Bank collection, which will go towards feeding Bermuda’s hungry.

The Eliza DoLittle Society is a registered charity that was originally founded in 2000 to address the needs of Bermuda’s homeless population.

The principal aim of the society is to assist individuals who are in need of “a hand up, not just a hand out”.

Led by a volunteer board of directors, an Executive Director was hired on April 1, 2010 to establish and coordinate a new program called Daily Bread. The program was modelled on the 25 year old Second Harvest program in Toronto, Ontario.

Daily Bread was officially launched on July 22, 2010 and the first food collections and deliveries started on September 6, 2010.

The Daily Bread programme was established to coordinate and support efforts of churches, agencies and any other organization which has the same goal of reducing, and hopefully eliminating, hunger in Bermuda.

The focus of the Eliza DoLittle Society has shifted from serving just the homeless to serving anyone in Bermuda who is food insecure and/or hungry.

TEDS started with three feeding centres at the end of 2010 and today are supporting nine feeding centres and make countless deliveries to charities and agencies that provide food aid to Bermuda’s hungry.

The group isare now providing food for over 1,000 meals each week and are supported by hundreds of dedicated volunteers and generous food and financial donors. TEDS is also an approved Duke of Edinburgh Award Activity provider.
