Food Not Bombs Providence will be tabling at AS220 in Providence for the punk ska show with PWRUP, Palmslow, Threat Level Burgundy and So Many Dangers.

They are offering Pay-What-You-Can cookies and accepting donations like coats, blankets and non-perishable food.

If you want to bring a larger donation, tell them at the door and I will put it in my car so you don't have to lug it into the venue.

It is freezing in Providence and the city is lacking in volunteers to help keep warming centers open.

If you cannot make the show, FNB are in Kennedy Plaza on Thursday and Sunday mornings. I dropped off some coats and a blanket there, it only took about 2 minutes to do.

I am making chocolate crinkle cookies for Friday. I hear they are great, come get one! :)

Are there any food not bombs in Maryland? I'm curious about any of them. I'm kind of far from Baltimore by bike so I'm hoping that's not the only one (assuming there's still one there).

I made these stickers to spread information, organizations, and educational material. Spread them, have fun and be safe!

How many (if any) FNB or CNB (Comida No Bombas) chapters in WI?

Hey guys. Anybody know what's up with the Jacksonville chapter like...not being active and not responding to messages or literally anything? Thinking about just starting my own, pls advise

TLDR: What model of griddle-oven combo do you recommend and why? What model of commercial fridge/freezer do you recommend and why?

Hi folks, we've recently been connected with an opportunity to put $5,000 towards appliance improvements in the space we normally cook in. The old griddle and oven in the space is unreliable and we have no fridge to work with, only freezers. Hookups are for gas, and I believe the electric hookups that would accommodate a fridge are all 120V.

Thanks so much in advance for sharing your thoughts!

Asking folks from colder regions with real winter. Do your shares change when it's sub-zero? Ours definitely do. Less people giving the food, less people taking it. Though clothes, especially warm ones, are definitely being taken easier. We recently even had to make a post asking for help, because shares were made by 3 people at most and we're really constant with them

I live in SD and really want to get involved with Food Not Bombs. I know there are a few local chapters, but the social media pages are not active anymore. Does anyone know if the chapters are still running? Thank you!

Hi,
I'm in the Raleigh NC chapter of Food Not Bombs and someone we were helping with resources now lives in TN and wants to know if there are any chapters near there (Montgomery County, Clarksville area). The only one I could find in the Food Not Bombs map had a MySpace website and an email address that bounced back as it does not exist. Welp. Does anyone know of any current chapters in that area or other mutual aid organizations? Specifically looking for assistance with diapers and maybe grocery delivery.
Thanks!

It's starting to get chilly and we're looking to provide hot food to warm some bellies. I'm looking for budget-friendly advice on keeping pastas, soups, and stews warm for as long as possible.

Someone suggested starting a patreon for our local chapter and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with doing that? Advice or pitfalls we should look out for.

I am on Maine/NH border and to my knowledge there’s no local chapter. I do remember a kid from my high school being active in a chapter but the closest one I see now is in Keene which is 2 hrs from me. (High school was also over 20 years ago for me so I’m assuming things have aged along with myself haha). So, Is anyone about this? Seems like Portland would be the place? Back in the day, Portsmouth NH would def be an area where this could have grown, but alas times have changed. As stated before I live in NH border - I see a huge need for something like this in Strafford County NH. There are some mutual aid programs but never enough. My current background is community healthcare (nursing) - demographic around here is high needs, high barrier, lack of housing, resources can be scarce at times, substance use is high. Warming shelter in the area is lacking funding for this winter - not sure what will happen with that.

Anyways - just kind of gauging interest and throwing it out there on Reddit. Though my day to day is service oriented work I still feel like I want to do more, especially given the current state of our world. Feeling like it is more important than ever to invest in our community. Maybe I’ll get a hit. Maybe I won’t.

I’m a home baker in Cleveland who recently started baking large batches of treats to give out around the city. Last weekend, I made over 100 cookies and distributed them downtown, and I'd love to keep this going! Does anyone have tips on sustainable or affordable ingredient sourcing, maybe local stores that support community projects? Thanks for your help!

Id like to start a chapter in my small south Florida town. The closest chapters we have are Orlando and West Palm Beach (two hours away north and south). I want to start it, but I'm not sure where to begin. I also feel like I can't do it on my own. I'm a full time teacher and a full time student, so I'd need to find people interested in helping

German FNB, please respond! we're a forest defenders camp and we're running out of food!!

I'm thinking about making a bunch of sandwiches to bring. What would be a good cost effective, environmentally friendly way to wrap them?

Does your chapter share meat and/or animal products?

Does your chapter go shopping at grocery stores?

Does your chapter offer a tax ID number to stores so their donations can be written off?

I’m really struggling with the number of chapters that have chosen to disregard core Food Not Bombs principles.

So far the most common response to asking why is something along the lines of, “we need to feed as many people as possible any way we can.”

If we don’t have principles what are we really even doing?

Hi I'm going to a FnB later today to see how I can get involved, is there anything I need to know before I go? And is there anything I should bring?

Wondering how different chapters are handling masking up (respirators / n95s / kn95s) these days and why or why not?

I’ve had very little luck looking for a ride to the Greenville one and I was wondering if there is one in Anderson? It’s been a tough past 2 months and I’m just looking for non religious resources due to religious trauma from my past and just food insecurity help. If this is not allowed I’m sorry.

Hi! I am writing to ask if anybody has some suggestions some FnB related movies / interviews / clips.

The local chapter in my city is thinking of fundraiser ideas and we think a movie screening would be great, just have to get some ideas. The title of the movie would be great, a link to download / stream it from is awesome.

Hi comrades far and wide, we have just restarted the FNB chapter here in San Antonio tx!

Does anybody have any insight, tips and tricks for gathering resources to feed the community?

I’ve got a list of local grocers and small cafes and restaurants ready to go. Would love any and all comments, thank you in advance 🙏🏽 blessings
