Free Screening of ‘Down the Duck’ Documentary Coming to The Mulehouse

Join the Harpeth Conservancy for a special screening of Down the Duck, A River in Peril, A Community in Action, a film by Archaea Productions in partnership with Nashville PBS.

This powerful documentary follows septuagenarian photographer John Guider as he canoes all 270 miles of the Duck River, the most aquatically biodiverse river in North America.

Along the journey, the film weaves together the stories of the river itself: its beauty, history, wildlife, challenges, and the communities who call it home. Through conversations with ecologists, historians, local residents, and conservation advocates, Down the Duck captures both the wonder of this extraordinary river and the urgency of protecting it for future generations.

And there’s something especially meaningful about this first public showing happening right here in the Duck River watershed.

June 12
The Mulehouse, 812 S. High St
Doors Open: 6 PM
Film Begins: 6:30 PM
Panel with Q&A to follow the film
*Food trucks will be on site

The Well Outreach Aims to Collect 6,000 Jars of Peanut Butter & Jelly for Local Families

From The Well Outreach’s post…

It's time to jam again...

Bread’s been feeling a little lonely lately — and we can’t have that! It’s time to reunite the pantry’s favorite trio and restock our shelves with peanut butter and jelly during the Summer months to support local families and children. 

Last year, these two spreads raced neck‑and‑neck to see who could fill the most jars — and our community jammed out in a big way. This year, we’re bringing the fun back with a fresh challenge: help us spread the love (literally) by donating jars of peanut butter and jelly to The Well Outreach.

Our goal is 6000 jars of peanut butter and jelly.

Here are your options for directly donating peanut butter and jelly:

1) Pantry Drop Off: You are welcome to drop collected items off at either of our two pantry locations.  If you arrive outside of our hours of operation, we have collection boxes outside of each pantry.  For more information, please visit our Food Pantries page.

2) Food Drive: One of the best ways to directly gather food is to host a food drive.  All the information you’d need to do so is on our Food Drives and Donations page.

3) Help with a financial gift: With this option The Well Outreach (through our buying power) will be able to purchase peanut butter AND jelly at reduced costs. This option is easy and a huge help to the Well food pantries. Give here.

We can’t wait to see who wins…. PEANUT BUTTER or JELLY!

Thank you for helping us feed local families in need this Summer!
