Food Not Bombs - Hoboken is in need of a stable location to carry out its activities. The group currently meets in the back room of a pizzeria. The space is no longer large enough to contain our meetings and often closes before we have completed our planning and discussion. Not Bombs uses the kitchen of a local college dormitory to cook food we have collected from donors. This kitchen does not provide us with the necessary space for our cooking needs and is not available as frequently as we need it to be.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
It is time for some relaxation and copious amounts of delicious food. But for many people around the world, Thanksgiving passes by just like every other day. There is no relief from these people's battle with hunger. People in some 12 million households in the US every year either experienced some hunger or had poor diets because they could not afford better food. Of that number, about 800,000 households were found to be suffering from severe hunger from time to time during the year.
