Food not Bombs Volunteers "Serve" up Free Vegetarian Fare.
For the month of August, FNB is serving in Scott Park, on the corner of 3rd St. and Springfield Ave. in Champaign.
Young community members have united to fight hunger and violence with Food Not Bombs, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to nonviolence. Each week, FNB members obtain food donations and recover food that would otherwise be put to waste. Taking what they've gathered, a full course vegetarian meal is prepared. Every Sunday at 4:30 p.m. the meal is served in a local park. All hungry people are invited to eat and fellowship free of charge. FNB has experimented with several locations including West Side Park, Skelton Park, and Crystal Lake Park. |

For several reasons, I am highly skeptical of your post. Having attended parks, rallies, and other events at which Food Not Bombs served everyone for hours in all kinds of weather, FNB serves everyone as long as there is still food. FNB also does not discriminate based on class, race, color, or gender. FNB does not even discriminate based on hunger. If you want to eat and they have food, you eat. Period.
You should choose your words more carefully when throwing around terms such as "rich white kids" "college brats" in your comment title. There are millions of people who attend colleges and universities who are neither white, nor rich, nor brats. This smacks of the stereotyping that we all ought to resent and therefore avoid. |
