Seacoast Area Mobile Market: Rochester Housing
2019-06-17 12:00 - 14:00 | Rochester Housing, 77 Olde Farm Lane, Rochester, NH, 03867, United States
SAMM, the Seacoast Area Mobile Market, is the first mobile market program of its kind in New Hampshire, and is the newest program in a larger Mobile Market consortium that spans New England and is generously funded by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation’s Healthy Food Fund.
The goal of SAMM is to provide access to local foods in communities within the service region that may lack farmers’ markets of their own, have high concentrations of low-income or at-risk residents, are designated as being at higher risk for food insecurity, or have a reportedly high number of residents with lack of access to consistent means of transportation. In addition to these community stops, SAMM will also service a small number of employers in the region as an employee benefit.
Aligning with Seacoast Eat Local’s goal to provide greater access to local foods in all of their Seacoast communities, SAMM is also aimed at spreading and increasing the number of sustainable agricultural businesses in these areas. By sourcing product as locally to market stops as possible, they hope to incentivize and support small scale agricultural businesses in their growth.

Liquid Handcuffs - Documentary Screening
2019-07-01 18:00 - 20:00 | SOS Community Center, 4 Broadway, Dover, NH, 03820, United States
SOS Recovery Community Organization and the Strafford County Public Health Network is excited to host a screening of Liquid Handcuffs: A Documentary to Free Methadone, followed by a special panel discussion with directors Marilena Marchetti and Helen Redmond. To learn more and to watch the trailer, visit https://www.liquidhandcuffsdoc.com/
Summary:
Filmed in six countries
Afghanistan, Britain, India, Portugal, Russia, United States
In 2017, the opioid-related overdose crisis killed 70,000 people in the US. Methadone is the most successful treatment for opioid addiction and is proven to cut the death rate by half or more. So why is it easier to get heroin than methadone?
Liquid Handcuffs: A Documentary to Free Methadone, shines a spotlight on the closed world of methadone clinics. An international cast of methadone users, activists, and healthcare providers explain the benefits and the barriers to getting the medication. And drug policy expert Deborah Small provides commentary on the politics of methadone.
Liquid Handcuffs: A Documentary to Free Methadone explores the intersection of methadone with race, class, social control, and stigma. This is the first feature-length documentary that uses the lens of harm reduction to examine the methadone clinic system.
Event Accessibility
The event will take place at SOS Recovery Community Center, 4 Broadway, Dover, NH. We will service light refreshments/ If you have questions email John Burns at John@sosrco.org or call us at 603-516-2776
