Food Not Bombs, Staten Island Chapter

Food Not Bombs, Staten Island Chapter Each group is independent and invites everyone to participate in making decisions for their local chapter using the consensus process.

Staten Island Food Not Bombs strives to be a community resource to provide food that would otherwise be thrown away to those in need, organized via consensus decision making processes. Food Not Bombs recovers and shares free vegan or vegetarian food with the public without restriction in over 1,000 cities around the world to protest war, poverty and the destruction of the environment. Food Not Bo

mbs is dedicated to taking nonviolent direct action to change society so no one is forced to stand in line to eat at a soup kitchen expressing a commitment to the fact that food is a right and not a privilege. With over a billion people going hungry each day how can we spend another dollar on war?

Good morning! Following our time of inactivity as a group, I am attempting to revive our local Food Not Bombs chapter. Please reach out to me if you are still interested in being a functioning member of this group so I can gather where I should head forward with this!

The UWVC picked up 8 large bags of clothes from my porch yesterday, I just wanna say thank you to everyone that donated clothes to our veterans, it means a lot to them. Pat yourselves on the back, you're from a select group of people that actually bothered to do something besides play facebook political commentator during this freak show of an election season.

Collecting clothes is easy; almost everyone has clothes buried in their closet that they've been meaning to give away, hand down, throw out, etc. Clothes that dont fit you anymore, that your kids grew out of, that are out of style, that you've sworn you'd never wear again unless it was a part of some obscure Halloween costume. However, now I'm asking for my friends and family to dig deep into that charitable soul that I know everyone has, and donate some food for the hungry. You dont have to go on a shopping spree, thats not what I'm asking, but going through my own cupboard there are some cans of soup, beans, etc that I bought with the intention of eating that I just never did. And because they're canned, they have an amazing shelf life, and are still consumable. I know for a fact there are people out there in our community who could use it more than my family. I've seen it with my own eyes, I live right next to a church that collects food at Mt. Loretto. I've done volunteer work with food activist groups that have directly fed hungry people spoon to mouth. If you got it, if you can spare it, I'll let you know where you can drop it off. If you cant drop it off, I'll come get it. Forget about the garbage you see on TV, there's no hero in an orange toupee or $75,000 designer peacoat to come save you. There's just us, banding together, helping each other out. So let's be the change we all wish to see in this world.

We are currently collecting cans and boxes of food. Anyone who has any to spare, either myself or Susan Overeem will gladly pick them up, or you can drop them off.

Food Not Bombs of Staten Island also does periodic clothing & textile drives for the Vietnam Veterans Association. A large portion of our homeless are veterans; people who were good enough to take a bullet for this country but discarded like trash because there's no incentive to parade them around on TV at football games. Regardless of your opinions on foreign policy in America, our fellow humans need our help, since the government they sacrificed for won't. Our next pickup is for the 28th, this coming Wednesday, so Tuesday the 27th will be the last day you can give me clothes. Please get in touch with me either on Facebook or call, and I'll arrange a pick up if I can. Thanks for the support!
