Food Not Bombs is an international movement that demands justice for poor and homeless people. We are all volunteers who serve free meals as a protest against the government's violence and greed.
We believe food should be a right, not a commodity. When over 800 million people go hungry and 40,000 starve to death each day, how can we spend another dollar on war?
How you can help:
- Cook a vegetarian dish and bring it to share!
- If you'd rather not cook on your own, meet up with other volunteers at our "kitchen space" and help cook.
- Help wash dishes and clean up. Help with this job is always great!
- If you have a motor vehicle, drive some volunteers to pick up food for the Friday meal.
- If you have no time to spare, we are always grateful for donations of food, cookware, dishes and silverware, and even money.
- If you can't spare anything, contact local businesses and ask them to donate excess food they would otherwise throw away to Food Not Bombs.
