After the success of our first event Food Not Bombs Manchester will be out across the city this week at the below venues. Come say hi....
Food Not Bombs Manchester Events - 12-19 October.
After the success of last week's initial foray onto the streets of Rusholme, when we fed vegetable stew, rice, couscous salad, mixed salad, fried plantain and banana, pear and cinnamon pudding to around 100 hungry mouths from our stall on Wilmslow Road, Food Not Bombs is back with more events around Manchester over the coming week.
Fri 12th, 1pm, Dallas Court Reporting Centre
Today we'll be serving hot soup (Spicy tomato, carrot and sweetcorn... mmm) and bread to asylum seekers standing outside the centre. Dallas Court is where asylum seekers from across Manchester are made to go to report and has been the site of many kidnappings, when people have gone in to report only to be taken away to detention centres and to be deported. Visits are a massively traumatic experience for many, we will be there to show support.
Sunday 14th - 4-7pm - Corner of Platt Lane and Wilmslow Road, Rusholme.
The big serving - a veritable banquet of freshly prepared hot vegan food for anyone whos passing. Information about our activities, local campaigns, veganism and more.
Monday 15-Friday 19. 1pm, Dallas Court Reporting Centre, South Langworthy Road, Salford.
Every day next week we'll be taking food to the queues outside the centre, what we serve will vary from day to day depending on donations but the message of support stays the same.
Tuesday 16th - FUNDRAISING PEOPLES KITCHEN. 7pm, Grants Arms, Hulme.
A fundraiser to support our activities. Full meal on a donation basis. Noone will be denied food for lack of funds, but please give generously folks!
Wednesday 17th
2pm, Albert Square, Central Manchester - Providing food outside the Asylum Support and Destitution Public Hearing.
6pm - Outside the Asylum Support and Destitution Roadshow, Waterside Theatre, Whitworth Street, Central Manchester.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS AND FOOD DONATIONS!
If you would like to help, by preparing, serving or donating food (or of course cold hard cash...) please contact us on
