SUMMARY:Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive and Volunteer Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers will gather at the post office parking lot on Saturday\, May 10 to sort\, box and distribute food collected by letter carriers during the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. The food will be distributed to junior enlisted families and families in crisis through Military Outreach Ministries and New Day Urban Ministries. The Coronado-based public charity\, the Rick and Katie Moore Foundation\, needs volunteers to help with this process on Saturday afternoon. Each year\, about 5000-10000 pounds of food is distributed. The Foundation’s Serve4Good program allows volunteers to receive the blessings of helping neighbors in need. \nGenerally\, about 30 volunteers work from 3:30 to 6 pm and then the Foundation’s truck takes the sorted food to New Day Urban Ministries and Military Outreach Ministries food supply stations \nTo volunteer for sorting and boxing at the post office\, visit eventbrite.com. \nEach year\, letter carriers across the country head out on their routes on the second Saturday in May to collect donations of non-perishable food items to benefit local food pantries. Since launching in 1993\, the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has grown into the nation’s largest one-day food drive\, helping to fill the shelves of food banks in cities and towns throughout the United States. \nYou can help by joining letter carriers and partner organizations in the fight to end hunger by participating. Simply leave your donation of non-perishable food in a bag near your mailbox on May 10. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nAll photos courtesy of The Rick & Katie Moore Foundation.\n  \nRELATED 2018: \nStep Up to Stamp Out Hunger on May 12th

SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film: "The Search"
DESCRIPTION:“The Search” – A Mother’s Day Story of the Indomitable Love of a Mother Determined to Find Her Lost Son \n \nSunday\, May 11 at 1 PM\, the 2025 “War That Shaped Our World” CIFF Student Classic Film Series continues with director Fred Zinneman’s “The Search\,” the story of “The Lost Children of Europe.” “The Search” features the Oscar nominated first feature film appearance of Montgomery Clift and a Special Juvenile Academy Award winning performance by nine-year old Ivan Jandl. The Search is also noteworthy as American immigrant\, Austrian-born Jewish director Fred Zinnemann’s first box office success and as perhaps the first Hollywood feature film dramatizing the consequences of The Holocaust. \nFollowing the War\, orphaned children are moved to a United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation camp in Germany. During an interview to determine his identity a young boy named Karel\, separated from his mother at Auschwitz\, is only able to say in broken German: “I don’t know.” While being transported to a second camp\, some children panic. Karel and another boy escape by jumping in a river. As Karel’s companion drowns\, Karel reaches the riverbank\, but when only a hat is recovered UN officials presume he has drowned. Simultaneously\, the audience learns his mother\, Hanna\, has survived the death camps and is searching for her son. While hiding in the city’s ruins Karel encounters an American soldier\, “Steve” Stevenson (Montgomery Clift) who becomes determined to help the boy. Convinced his relatives are dead\, Stevenson works on a plan to take Karel to the U.S. when his tour of duty ends in hopes of adopting him. The dramatic narrative intensifies as circumstances conspire with a mother’s indomitable love to resolve the drama: Will these two Holocaust survivors be reunited as mother and son? \n \nDirector Fred Zinnemann lost both parents to the Holocaust. In this documentary-style post-war feature\, he creates a realistic cinematic account to dramatize the real-world plight of hundreds of thousands of orphaned children struggling to survive and the compassionate people working to help redeem their post-war lives. Nominated for three Oscars in 1948 including Best Best Director for Zinnemann\, “The Search” is a movie you will never forget. \nThe complete 2025 Student Classic schedule and reservations are available on the CIFF website under the “Year-Round” dropdown tab. The screening is free and open to the public.
