Food Not Bombs

I've been looking for some new ways to volunteer. The whole family has been volunteering for a year or so at the Lawrenceville Co-Op which I like but we basically just stock carts with food and I don't always feel needed because they have so many volunteers. Last weekend I decided to join Cholu (from Shambhala center) and his Food Not Bombs crew to feed the hungry in Atlanta. They cook up a vegetarian meal and then serve it from 2-5 pm in Woodruff Park downtown. I definitely liked being there and meeting the people I was actually helping. Most were really grateful and enjoyed the food. I'm still not sure if this will end of being the perfect fit for me but I will definitely continue to help. Maybe I'll even help cook next time!

 

 

They lined up down the sidewalk...very orderly
