Food Not Bombs PDX



    


Food Not Bombs is an international organization that was created in the 80’s in order to deliver free food to communities. Their goals encompass the idea of sustainability and community engagement  while providing food to those who might otherwise go hungry that day. The Portland chapter has been involved in food gatherings for many years and they set up potluck style vegan and mostly organic meals transported via their bicycles. Unfortunately they are currently looking for volunteers and have had to shut down some of their weekly operations due to lack of support. If you would like to get involved please contact the organization directly to find out where support is needed.

Here is a video of one of their amazing projects during the 2013 "Right to Dream" campaign.




Acknowledging that a person is a human by sharing a meal with them might be one of the most simple yet satisfying gifts we can provide. By fulfilling this basic human need, we can improve individual lives and entire communities. We can create change one meal at a time.
