Come to The Buttonwood Tree every Sunday at 1 PM for a free lunch & anticapitalism! Why We're Different:
Share - to make food accessible to everyone who needs it, we offer what we have collected to the needy public by sharing, not serving. Sharing with our neighbors also means that we eat with those we share the food with. In doing so, we are not offering a service, but offering our compassion and
understanding. Surplus - with upwards of 40% of all food being wasted, we "rescue" this surplus to show that if the right action is taken, food waste can be dramatically reduced. Among those less fortunate who join us each week, are people who are enduring expensive and debilitating illnesses that prevent them from having access to a steady (and healthy) supply of food. Not a Soup Kitchen - we are a community with a message that there is plenty of food for everyone if we simply make it available. The 3 Principles of FNB:
1. The food is Vegan (mostly produce with some pantry staples) to ensure food safety & ethical standards; available to all.
2. We have no leaders and use the process of consensus to make decisions.
3. We are dedicated to nonviolent direct action towards creating a world free from domination, coercion and violence.
