Food Not Bombs works to feed city's homeless

Food Not Bombs Houston, the local chapter of a global organization dedicated to eradicating the problem of poverty all over the world, recently launched a program that helps to feed many of downtown Houston's homeless. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8pm and Sunday at 7pm, volunteers gather on the corner of McKinney and Smith to hand out food. From their mission statement:

As an organization, Food Not Bombs simply tries to redistribute a tiny portion of the wealth (in this case, food) that so many seem to not want to give up. The name "Food Not Bombs" means just that. With so many people at home and abroad going hungry, and so much of our wealth controlled by so few, and going towards such terrible things as weaponry, it's insane to assume that we can't redistribute some of that wealth to those who need it.

Food Not Bombs is always in need of volunteers and donations. If you're interested in helping out, send an email to fnbhouston@yahoo.com.
