Welcome New Members
October 1, 2021We had the second edition of Food Not Bombs YEG Orientation today, proving the growth of our organisation! Usually we only send the orientation doc one at a time, but when we have an influx of new members at the same time, we orient them all together. It is good news when we have so many people that we need to book a group session. Awesome work, team!

SOY Meal
August 21, 2021For today's meal, we had three members serve 40 people with vegan burgers, pasta, muffins, and water.
FNB Meal at Boyle Street
August 20, 2021Members had a bit extra produce to use up so it was cooked into a bean stew, served with potato salad and vegan muffins. We served about 30 portions from 11:00am-11:30am. It was good to see so many smiling faces and to be outside in the nice weather.
Nurses' Info Picket
August 11, 2021Today's meal: Spinach and cashew-ricotta cannelloni glazed with homemade marinara with a drizzle of vegan mushroom Alfredo sauce, with a side of fresh-picked roasted zucchini parmesan served with garlic bread and solidarity. Nurses, who have been risking their lives to save lives, should be eating better than Jason fucking Kenney. Today, they will be. The zucchinis were grown in our local collective garden, just blocks away from the picket.
FNB Meal
August 7, 2021We served about 25-30 portions of pasta outside of Boyle Street Community Services. We were also joined by a community member who was kind enough to cook the pasta and help serve. Welcome to our new member! We are excited to have your help 🎉
FNB Meal
August 11, 2021For our meal today, some members picked a zucchini grown in our collective garden and baked a chocolate zucchini cake. They then delivered it to other members waiting downtown who served it outside of Boyle Street Community Services.
Serving PB&J Sandwhiches
June 27, 2021A few of our members went out this morning to serve peanut butter and jam sandwhiches and water to folks on the streets. We handed out about 40 sandwhiches and about as many water bottles.

Know Your Rights
June 6, 2021Some of our members have noticed these EPS posters. Do not trust the cops to tell you your rights. It is in their best interest for you not to know your full rights when dealing with them. Click here for a citizens guide to dealing with the police produced by the CCLA.
