COOK for PEACE in Santa Fe
Food Not Bombs is starting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe is the capital of America's hungriest state. A U.S. Department of Agriculture study shows that 16.8 percent of the households in New Mexico do not have enough food.
SANTA FE FOOD NOT BOMBS MEETING
The next Santa Fe Food Not Bombs meeting will be at Roddey & Corette are hosting the meeting next Thursday 20th, 7:00pm at their place (email roddeyandcocoa@yahoo.com for directions).
Plan A:
Serve food on Fridays (late morning/noontime), during VFP rally at St. Francis & Cerrillos (@ raw produce parking lot / School for the Deaf?). Collect food Thursday afternoons. Form teams for collecting, cooking, serving, clean-up.
Ideas:
- Distribute raw produce even before and/or if we don't cook with it.
- Distribute left-overs after FNB meals (gather yogurt containers, etc. for this purpose).
- Check what Salvation Army, St. Elizabeth's, Kitchen Angels, Food Depot, etc. provide.
- Feed school-kids breakfast.
- Serve where teens gather.
- Serve day laborers at DOL/Guadalupe.
- Coordinate with FNB in Taos, Abq, Las Vegas, Gallup to maintain a presence at Los Alamos.
- Generate our own literature/reprints.
- Table, distribute literature even if we're not ready with food yet.
- Collect/offer unused coupons (set up boxes around town?)
- Sell buttons, books, bookmarks, t-shirts to raise funds to cover printing, gas, extras...
- Get on Wild Oats/Whole Foods 5-cent/unused-shopping-bag donation program (one month/year), to raise funds.
- Gather, compile relevant NM facts (e.g., 16.8% of New Mexicans go hungry for at least a month/year; nuclear PIT production plans; if NM were a country, we'd be the third largest nuclear power in the world.
