About Me

Sarasota is ranked the worst city in the country for homeless people. Help fight the machine. (read more here and here )
The money spent by the world on weapons in one week is enough to feed all the people on Earth for one year. When over 800 million people go hungry and 40,000 starve to death each day, how can we spend another dollar on war?
If you feel that people need food more than bombs we want you to contact us today. The next few years could profoundly change the world for generations and Food Not Bombs is working to make those changes positive for everyone. Join the hundreds of other Food Not Bombs groups or start a group in your community.
We need help to create a Food Not Bombs in Sarasota/Bradenton.
What does Food Not Bombs do?
*Distributes free vegetarian food to anyone who wants a hot meal.
*Provides literature tables to empower people with information about hunger, health, peace and justice.
*Provides hot meals at to protests and events.
*Organizes creative actions to end war and poverty
We invite you to work with us to provide desperately needed services and information to our community. For more information visit the official website: foodnotbombs.net
