Laredo Food Not Bombs
Program Type Description:
Free plant-based meal distribution
MISSION STATEMENT:
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. Each group is independent and invites everyone to participate in making decisions for their local chapter using the consensus process. Food Not Bombs 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?
Notes:
The Laredo chapter of Food Not Bombs distributes free plant-based meals every third Sunday of every month
