Long Island Food Not Bombs became Community Solidarity in 2011. We share free groceries, clothing, books & toys 5 days a week in Brooklyn, Nassau & Suffolk. Find more info @ CommunitySolidarity.org
One of the things that is extraordinarily unique about Long Island Food Not Bombs is the shear scale of what we do. People that come to LIFNB don't just get some food, we share a good portion of what a person needs for a whole week. That means on most days folks can leave with 3 or 4 large bags of fresh organic groceries, (breads, fruits, veggies, protein, juice etc.)
When you come to a Long Island Food Not Bombs Food Share community members also share other necessities like clothing, books, toys, seeds, tools, literature. In essence our inevitable goal is to share everything someone might need for their week, their job, their family and their lives.
This massive assortment of free stuff also attracts crowds of Hundreds at a time and because of the shear volume of food, materials, and people we often run our Food Not Bombs Chapters like Radical Super Markets.
It goes like this, over the area of a city block we have tables separated into sections and individually specified for various items like bread, fruits and veggies, sweets, frozen foods, grocery items, clothing, community supported literature and hot vegan meals. If you come to a Food Share and only need clothing then you can just go to the clothing area, if you only want fruits you can go to that area, and so on.
We also try and have numerous cool folks throughout the crowd and at the tables who can help you find what you're looking for.
