How To Help

Both Philly FNB chapters are extremely grateful to any who help us. Here are some things we always need-

YOU!- We are member run and are always in need of people for cooking, cleaning, food transportation, and serving. You don’t have to have any cooking skills at all to help. People with cars are a big help with picking up or transporting donated food. If you're interested in volunteering with us in any way just come to one of our regular servings (North Philly FNB, West Philly FNB) and introduce yourself, or contact us via email for more information. We've also begun tabeling at R5 shows at the First Unitarian Church. If you can make tasty vegan baked goods and want to see some awesome music let us know!

Food- Vegetarian food donations are the most important things we receive. Non-perishable food items; canned vegetables, pasta, cooking oil, soup, beans, spices, etc. can be donated at any time. Perishable food items; fruit, vegetables, bread, etc. are also appreciated. We prefer vegan (meat and dairy free) food, but will accept any foodstuffs you’re willing to give. Contact us to arrange for a pickup.

Cooking/Serving Materials- Pots, spoons, buckets, coolers, dishes, cutting boards, etc. are always wanted. We are constantly in dire need of paper/plastic cups, dishes, and plastic utensils. If you have something that you think might be useful, contact us to arrange for a pickup.

Misc.- We often get requests for blankets, warm clothes, cloth bags. SEPTA tokens are always in need. Toiletries like soap, toothpaste, combs, etc. are always useful.

Money/Diesel Vehicle- Food Not Bombs is an entirely volunteer run group. Our operation costs are small but do exist. No profit whatsoever is made by Food Not Bombs members and any monetary donation is extremely helpful and will be well used. We are also in the process of trying to obtain a diesel vehicle that'll be converted into a bio-diesel vehicle. If you have a diesel truck or van or know where we can get one real cheap, let us know!!!!
