Worldwide Food Not Bombs
Community Solidarity
FNB NYC (Downtown)

Bedford Stuyvesant Food Not Bombs shares food every Saturday at 3 p.m., regardless of weather, holidays, public events, etc., at the northwest corner of Von King (Tompkins) park, at Lafayette and Marcy. We want you to come and see and take part.

Foot Not Bombs is a worldwide movement made up of autonomous groups who believe that food and the other necessities of life are rights, not privileges. So we give food away and eat it ourselves. We are not doing charity but community, solidarity and celebration.

We get our food from donations by companies, stores, organizations, and individual people. Much of the food we share would be thrown away or otherwise wasted. Instead, it is made into nutritious vegan meals or distributed as-is, free to all who want it. Sometimes we give away flowers, too!

This is the way the world ought to be. Come and be part of it.
