Support Food Not Bombs to build a kitchen

Food Not Bombs started its Narrm chapter in 1996. While we recently secured a new space to have a base, the problem is we have no kitchen. We need to build it, some things we need help with from professionals and that costs.

Food Not Bombs Narrm/Birraranga

We are a collective of volunteers who collect and distribute free food in the city. We share free nutritious organic vegan meals made from produce that would otherwise go to waste 3-4 times a week and we donate extra produce to the community.

"When a billion people go hungry each day, how can we spend another dollar on war? 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 also provide food and supplies to the survivors of natural disasters, and people participating in occupations, strikes, marches and other protests."

In so-called Australia and in Narrm/Birraranga we support political events and marginalised communities, such as demonstrations, First Nations campaigns and camps, refugees, street-based people, housing occupations, Neighbourhood Houses etc. Additionally, we use our van as a means of sourcing and transporting rescued food which we share with the community. The collective is politically motivated and supports actions that are aiming for a world free of exploitation. Food Not Bombs supports social and environmental justice, human and animal rights and will often cater for events that are in line with radical social change, i.e. 3CR community radio.
