Food Not Bombs needs your support! We’re fundraising to keep running, expand our capacity to distribute food & provide solidarity through the COVID crisis & beyond. Help us meet our goal of $2500. With your support we will do the following:

-1st $1500 will go towards investing in a larger van that will help us transport groceries, and invest in capabilities to keep perishables cold while transported.

-2nd $1000 is to expand into walk-in fridge space in partnership with Mutual Aid Disaster Relief. The funds will cover rent and utilities for 6 months, greatly expanding our capacity to prevent food waste and get it to more Richmonders. We are already working with MADR to find more food sources such as region-local and sustainable farms.

Each of these will not only help now in this current time of crisis but also plant seeds for the future.

CALL TO ACTION

As the economic, political and environmental crisis grow more urgent Food Not Bombs is often the place were people turn for organic vegan meals, groceries, information and emotional support. Food Not Bombs Groups are as busy as ever with the increase in poverty and homelessness.

And with the Covid 19 epidemic the need has never been greater.
