Hey there!
Decided it would be a good idea to have some organization via the interweb for the Norman Food Not Bombs group being started... so here it is. Here's basically a low down about what's going on right now:
Food Not Bombs... if you're not sure what it is, head to this website: foodnotbombs.net.
A group of people in central Oklahoma are trying to reorganize Food Not Bombs events in Norman. Pretty much we want to take all food that would otherwise go to waste and provide healthy, vegan meals for the community, whether that be low income families, the homeless population, suburbanite teenagers, crusty punks, etc. Everyone is invited. What we've been doing the past couple of weeks is setting up at different parks in Norman (Andrew's and Lion's) on Sunday evenings and distributing food we've prepared in our kitchens to anyone who looks like they might want some. Now, this project is in a very infantile stage and it has very few volunteers. It's kind of a crucial time period for us because the project is extremely vulnerable. The point of me even making this post is to allow others who might want to get involved to do just that, get involved.
Here's what we need volunteers for right now:
Promoting the event every week so that we have a good population of people coming out on a regular basis to eat.
Finding reliable food sources to distribute.
Cooking and cooking knowledge!
Transporting food!
(Of course, all of these things can be broken down into subsections such as "designing flyers, talking to people, dumpstering, talking to grocery stores around town about contributions, etc.)
Here are some material things we need:
Food. Any kind. Must be vegan.
Kitchenware: serving utensils, big ol' pots and pans, massive containers, coolers, something to store water/drinks in, etc.
Reusable silverware, plates, bowls, cups.
Here is how you can contact me or anyone else involved in Food Not Bombs:

PHONE:
