About Me

WHO WE ARE Cincinnati Food Not Bombs is a group of friends that meets weekly to commune with one another and share quality vegan and vegetarian food with the people of our city. The project is propelled forward every week by the individuals involved and by the people we feed. CFNB is in no way affiliated with any religious or political organization. The project itself is a leaderless collective. Collection, production, and distribution of all food is a group effort. Each member has a personal connection to the project and to the people we share a meal with once a week.CFNB is an ever changing experience. We are not the solution or a band-aid to the homeless problem here in Cincinnati. CFNB is a starting point, a new perspective on community and personal responsibility. As children we were taught to share, a lesson that has never had any boundaries or social and economic guide lines. Childhood lessons have shaped the way CFNB looks at community. As a society we have collectively allowed ourselves to look away when our eyes become uncomfortable with what they see.We offer substance in the form of a conversation, handshake, eye contact, warm food, and even some hugs. The project is inspiring for us and the people we feed.We hope our mission acts as a jump start to your sense of empathy, and you become active in your own community. This is our world, our community and our city. Please take a moment to look around, who exactly are the people in your neighborhood and how can you help!
