From Theo: We've been working on putting together an SF meeting for FNB on sunday Oct. 18th starting at 3:30p, Station 40 (3030b 16th St). I've been hearing alot of good ideas from 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!
SF FNB is going to setup a park near polk and sacremento on parking day, september 18th. Please come join us around noon — -we’ll have a grill, lounge chairs, food, coffee and more!
update: thanks to everyone for coming out to our first parking day! here are some photos (taken by Tami)
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 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?)
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.
If you’re interested or have any questions, please email me at opowers at sfsu dot edu.
After a hiatus of several months San Francisco Food Not Bombs is having a meeting! Join us and talk about recent events, current ideas and future opportunities for sharing food. Bring your thoughts, ideas, proposals — we will pass around an agenda sheet at the event.

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.
Join SF FNB for the second annual Chez Gay Cafe (food support) at Transmarch! We hope to make our event bigger & gayer than ever.
We need lots of help to make it happen, if you’d like to contribute, (1) just show up or (2) email us at sffnbvolunteers@riseup.net to help with with prep and gathering food. This year we will have some turkey fryers and other equipment that will require a little more coordination, but it should make our serving even cooler!
Rumor has it our crew will be sporting tuxedo tshirts, short shorts and skirts, possibly fake french mustaches. We encourage everyone volunteering to dress to impress!
We hope to see many of our fellow queer FNBers at the cafe, though all respectful folks will be welcomed, queers and allies alike; this event is probably one of the most fun of the year, so please come out!

Hello! As is often the case some Fnb servings are on haitus for summer. We need more help on our remaining days and are seeking people who want to restart lapsed days. Email us or the list if interested!
So far we’ve had a great response to Soupstock, the FNB convergence and festival on May 23-24, but we need all kinds of volunteers to make it happen. Please contact us if you are interested in helping, we need assistance in many areas. You can also download fliers, find a ride or housing, attend our planning meetings.
