PLEASE HELP! As Hurricane Gustav across the gulf Food Not Bombs
is planning to provide meals again foe survivors. Please organize with
your local Food Not Bombs group. Help us collect food and supplies to
held this year's survivors. The U.S. Government and the American Red
Cross were not able to deliver food to the survivors of Katrina so Food
Not Bombs set up kitchens in over 20 cities. Volunteers organized
America's largest food relief effort.
We will be providing help for the survivors of Hurricane Gustav
just as we helped after Katrina. The American Red Cross, state emergency
agencies, and FEMA asked everyone to call our toll free number for food
relief. This is an emergency! When the storm passes through the gulf
wewill provide hot meals on a daily bases. We need volunteers, tools
and food to help the people displaced by Hurricane Gustav. We need
people to help us repair homes and cook meals for people surviving the
hurricane. We also have a meeting place the Common Grounds 9th Ward
Center off the Claiborne Ave exit on I-10 at the corner of N. Claiborne
and Pauline in the 9th Ward.
Travel along with Free Speech TV as they cover our grassroots effort Food Not Bombs
The American Red Cross will be sending
Gustav survivors to Food Not Bombs. After Katrina we had many calls from people who
tell us that the Red Cross gave them our toll free number. We have been
able to help most of the people directed our way. You can help Food Not
Bombs support the Hurricane Gustav survivors by making a donation.
Food Not Bombs groups all across the
southern United States are feeding families displaced by Gustav. Help
us get food and supplies past FEMA. We need clothes, cooking equipment,
food, cooks and money to provide for thousands of hungry homeless
people. We have no overhead, rent or salaries so every donation goes
directly to helping people. Many affected by Hurricane Gustav are
familiar with Food Not Bombs because we have been sharing free food in
communities through the area for many years. Because we are independent
we can take food and supplies to areas where no other agency can reach.
This disaster may last
another year or more so we intend to keep setting up Food Not Bombs
field kitchens throughout the region. Food Not Bombs is encouraging the
refugees to participate in cooking, serving and collecting the food.
Their participation may be one of the most therapeutic things we can
provide. Tens of thousands of survivors were kicked out of thier motel
rooms. We believe that many of these people will be living outside
homeless. Even if you can't go to the disaster area we need lots of
help in your community. The number of people we need to feed is growing
all across America as people leave Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama
looking for work and housing. We are trying to share food every day in
your community. Please call to see how you can help in your area.
Many Survivors are now
considered regular members of America's homeless population. In
1989, Food Not Bombs fed the people made homeless by the earthquake and
after a few weeks the working class victims were forgotten and faced the
same problems as those who were homeless before the earthquake. Because
this could be such a long crisis it may be better for us to teach people
how to organize their own local Food Not Bombs group so they can provide
long-term support.
There are some things you can do that
can help us respond effectively to this disaster.
