COLUMBIA – Centro Latino plans to host a vegan soul food and movie night at 5:30 p.m. Sunday* at Cafe Berlin to benefit Comedor Popular.

Comedor Popular, or the "peoples' diner," is aimed at fighting obesity. The community diner will include hot vegan meals, cooking classes, wellness and obesity prevention programs and a retail shop selling seasonal produce.
