VERGENNES — Did you know that according to some studies between 2 and 6 percent of the population struggles with hoarding disorder? In Addison County that could be as many as 2,000 people. 
The Addison County Hoarding Task Force will present a one-night screening of David C. Coffin’s film “Beyond Hoarding” with panel discussion to follow on Sunday, Oct. 6, 3-5 p.m. 
The event will be held at the Vergennes Opera House. Donations will be accepted. 
“Beyond Hoarding” takes a fresh look at hoarding through the experiences of people afflicted with this compulsion, according to IMDB.com. Mental health experts shed light on this psychiatric disorder, which is treatable. 
The evening is sponsored by John Graham Housing & Services, Addison County Community Trust, Counseling Service of Addison County, and Northern Daughters Art Gallery.
