Kansas City Food Not Bombs Free hot meals served at Independence Ave & Monroe Ave (Outside the Family Dollar in NKC) every Sunday at 4pm. Solidarity, not charity.

We believe food is a human right, not a privilege. Our mission is to recover and share free vegan or vegetarian food with the public. The Kansas City, MO Chapter of Food Not Bombs shares meals, groceries, clothing and other goods to the community without restriction on a weekly basis. We also provide food and supplies to people participating in occupations, strikes, marches and other demonstrations.​​​​​​​

Food is a human right. Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer movement that recovers food that would otherwise be discarded, and shares free vegan and vegetarian meals with the hungry in over 1,000 cities in 65 countries in protest to war, poverty, and destruction of the environment. We are run by the community, for the community. We are not a charity but dedicated to taking nonviolent direct action. Our movement has no headquarters or positions of leadership and we use the process of consensus to make decisions.

What if the real resilience is the friends we made along the way? We are still sharing free hot vegan meals with our neighbors every Sunday, and we couldn’t do it without the tremendous support we get from our community. Those strong ties between each other help us bounce back and adapt after disruptions. Come join us any Sunday. Swipe to see a map of our new serving spot; it’s just around the corner from the spot we maintained for 10 years! Hope to see you soon!

Another case of repression of people exercising their first amendment rights. Friends, the state would like for us all to be scared of gathering together in public. The state is scared that we might develop trust and strong ties together, as well as figure out how to meet our own needs outside of capitalism, if we’re allowed to get together and share resources. We do not need permits to exist in public!
