Food Not Bombs poses the question: “When over a billion people go hungry each day, how can we spend another dollar on war?”
Food Not Bombs poses the question: “When over a billion people go hungry each day, how can we spend another dollar on war?”
Food Not Bombs first started in Cambridge, MA in 1980 in protest of war and poverty – it is now a worldwide movement made up of hundreds of independent chapters that provide free vegan and vegetarian meals to anyone in their local communities who is hungry. Our main conviction is that food is a right, not a privilege. We recognize that so much food is wasted in the US and globally, yet people are still starving. We see this as violence.
We are structured non-hierarchically, which means we organize ourselves from within, and no one person tells anyone else what to do. We also make decisions based on consensus, which means we collaborate and synthesize all of our ideas and opinions until we reach a decision that we all feel is best for the group.
We are an open organization, which means that we welcome all kinds of new volunteers and that we strive to be inclusive. No cooking or serving experience necessary.
Join us and meet the current group of dedicated organizers! We serve weekly, rain or shine. Contact us if you have additional questions, or check out our FAQ.
