Food Not Bombs is one of the fastest growing revolutionary movements in the world. There are hundreds of autonomous chapters sharing free vegetarian food with hungry people and protesting war and poverty.
Our belief is that the war industry and waste generated by our capitalist economic model are responsible for the conditions of starvation and malnutrition that are a problem facing billions in a world with the industrial capability to far exceed these basic human necessities.
Food Not Bombs is not a charity. Rather than ask for money we encourage people to take an active role in making this energetic grassroots movement happen. This attitude has spread FNB throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, organizing for peace, sustainability and justice in your community and around the world. For over 25 years the movement has worked to end hunger and has supported actions to stop the globalization of the economy, restrictions to the movements of people, end exploitation and the destruction of the earth.
This current incarnation of FNB Victoria has been serving free vegan food on the street every Sunday for almost 15 years! as well as supporting various social justice, anti capitalist, environmental and anti-war movements with food logistics. Food Not Bombs is a community based volunteer driven organization, it doesn't happen with out your help. So please come down and enjoy a free vegan meal, spread awareness of a healthy, sustainable lifestyle & come cook for your community 3:30pm every Sunday @ the corner of Vancouver and Pandora.
