Our Raleigh Food Not Bombs (FNB) chapter is an autonomous collective that provides food to wherever it is needed in the community. We collect donated items from members of the community, local groceries and food outlets.
We believe that homelessness and food insecurity in general is inherently caused by capitalism, racism, and local gentrification.
In a culture devoted to profit, we, without restriction, share food, time and compassion with no expectations. We are not a charity, but mutual aid, striving to stand against the injustices pushed upon our community. We advocate/provide healthy food options, provide educational resources and indiscriminately share support.
In a society that wastes so much, food is a right, not a privilege, we have plenty to share.
Why?
Raleigh has food deserts, which means that there is not enough produce for the people who live in that area.
Raleigh's leadership donors are real-estate developers. Interests are misaligned and only serve the needs of capitalists and the wealthy.
