We just received word that, tomorrow night, 12/3, Guest Chef Thomas Martinez’s Mission Street Food serving will be benefiting Food Not Bombs. Proceeds will help us buy the few things we can’t recover or otherwise manage for free — oil, cups, spoons, etc! Thanks!

Now is also a great time to volunteer with FNB! We’re always looking for people who want to host a kitchen or otherwise coordinate a serving. We can provide you with food hook-ups. You can do it with friends or leave it open to strangers!

From Theo:
We've been working on putting together an SF meeting for FNB on sunday

alot of people and we're interested in hearing more.

Some but not all of the ideas/needs I've heard include;

Banners
Bulk orders of food oil, spices, coffee, etc
Bike Carts/Hand Carts
Bulk rice and Beans Distro
Organizing a network of people down to support actions
FNB Merch, like zines, Shirts, and collectable fine china
Cup distro
Financial Transparency
Getting more Markets on our side.
5013c Status j/k

I feel like we got to work on making our Food Not Bombs communal, and
economically/environmentally sustainable.+ I heard the angry fist will
drop the carrot and slap your face if you don't show up, not really don't
worry though it might send curry packs to your front door.

Send stuff to the list or to me if you have ideas for the meeting, and
stay in touch!

August 30th – End Military Aid to the Philipphines

August 10, 2009 in action, solidarity | Leave a comment

On Sunday, August 30, 2009 — FNB is coming together in solidarity with SF

CHRP, (Committee For Human Rights in the Philippines), POCAT, People of

Color Action Theater, members of Iraq Vets Against War and several other

community organizations and collectives that oppose gov’t repression

against political groups and individuals fueled by US military aid, will

be commemorating the “International Day of the Disappeared”, which will be

held at the SF Library (Koret Auditorium area), 100 Larkin Street (by

Grove St.) from 1:30pm – 4:30pm. The purpose of the event, (not

demonstration, sorry about the confusion) is to raise awareness, share

stories, show film documentaries and cultural performances on the unjust

human rights violations and inhumane situations happening all over the

world.

So come and cook with us at station 40 (3030b 16th st), and we can serve

food to anyone who shows up. Cooking starts at 10:30am. Event is at 1:30 –

4:30 PM  (Thank you, Pati POCAT and ARCO member)

For more info on the event Contact Angelica at sfchrp@yahoo.com

summer meeting notes

August 8, 2009 in meetings | Leave a comment

summer meeting attendance was much lower than what we expected. what we talked about these things in no particular order:

  • we will spend the entirety of the FNB treasury on lasers
  • coordinated about rainbow pick-ups
  • new saturday serving, possibly a sunday serving
  • possible serving at the anarchist olympics
  • need to brainstorm ideas for getting cups, spoons, etc
  • we condensed to make cannibalism an exception to FNB’s veganism (only if they are right-wingers/fascists?)

Saturday Servings

The Saturday Servings are rolling again at UN Plaza, and we would love some help! Any contributions are appreciated, especially help with transportation and serving.

FNB WANTS YOUR KITCHEN

If you have a kitchen and would be interested in starting a FNB serving we would appreciate the help, over the summer we’ve slipped from sharing food 6 days a week to only 3. If you provide a space to cook we can help you with an abundance of food, volunteers, pots and pans, transportation and many other materials! email sffnbvolunteers @ riseup dot net for details.

We would especially love to see servings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Typically we serve in either UN Plaza, 16th & Mission, or Golden Gate Park, but we are very open to other ideas as well. Cooking lists 2-3 hours and serving is perhaps another hour. Some groups do everything, cook & serve the meal. Others divide the task and have two crews. How the day is organized is up to you.

All food that we make is free & vegan (vegetarian, without animal products). Some days are cool with bringing recovered/donated prepared foods that contain dairy, eggs (e.g. pastries or yogurt) to sharings.

You can do FNB with friends or post your info on this web site and have random folks show up! Host every week, every other week, or even once a month! It’s up to you.

FNB isn’t charity, it’s solidarity! – you should check out our principles & history.
