1. How can I volunteer with Lehigh Valley Food Not Bombs?
   • Come to one of our distros and help out, or email us! Our Instagram is also updated with information about our distro and volunteer roles.
2. Is there an income requirement in order to pick up food from a distro?
   • No. These distributions are open to everyone! You don’t need to be struggling with a certain level of poverty to attend. Most people are struggling to access food and housing in our economy, and the goal of our distributions is not just to bring awareness to that but also to demonstrate that the average person should not be living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to afford basic survival needs while the majority of our government’s budget goes to unnecessary violence overseas. We want this community to know that it can thrive on its own, and that we don’t have to rely on big corporations to survive.
3. Can Lehigh Valley Food Not Bombs cook for my activist rally or event?
   • Lehigh Valley Food Not Bombs strives to support local communities and organizations fighting oppression in all forms, and we are sometimes able to provide food in support. We encourage you to reach out personally to determine whether we have the capacity to support your event. Including the following information will help us in this decision:
   • • Event details

   • • When is the event?

   • • How many people are expected to attend?
4. Can I start a Food Not Bombs in my community?
   • Yes, you are welcome to start a local Food Not Bombs group. Organize a meeting with your family, friends, classmates and others in the community, and follow the seven steps to starting a Food Not Bombs.

1. How was the first Food Not Bombs founded?
   • Food Not Bombs started after the May 24, 1980 protest to stop the Seabrook Nuclear power station north of Boston in New Hampshire in the United States. The people that started Food Not Bombs share their first full meal outside the Federal Reserve Bank on March 26, 1981 during the stock holders meeting of the Bank of Boston to protest the exploitation of capitalism and investment in the nuclear industry.
