About Us

Food Not Bombs is an independent organisation which collects and serves vegetarian foods to other people. The food come from markets, stores and bakeries are collected for free.

The name Food Not Bombs states our most fundamental principle: society needs to promote life, not death. Our society, and especially those in power, condones, and even promotes violence and domination, leading to terrible suffering. This affects our everyday lives through the constant threat of violent crime, domestic violence, police repression, and the threat of total annihilation from nuclear war and the use of other weapons of mass destruction.
