Knoxville Food Not Bombs

Hey there fine folks! First Aid Collective Knoxville and East Tennessee Harm Reduction are working with Mutual Aid Disaster Relief to send items down to Louisiana to help with cleanup efforts in the wake of Hurricane Ida. If you have any of these items in excess, please consider bringing them by one of the listed locations. If you can't make it by Sept. 3 that's ok, the effort will be ongoing and we'll post updates.
We have a special ask of service industry workers: if your job regularly disposes of 5 gallon buckets (aka "pickle buckets"), please save them and bring them!! These are incredibly useful for folks cleaning up in the wake of a hurricane.
As severity and frequency of climate disasters increase, it's imperative that we strengthen and support supply chains that get resources to folks that need them. There are shortages of many of these supplies in Louisiana right now, and the Southeast is pulling together in solidarity ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks Sam's club for donating a ton of coffee cups and containers!

Hello! We are in search of a 40+ cup coffee percolator for serving. Our old one has given up, but we still have lots of coffee that needs brewin. DM us if you have any leads- used is totally fine!
In the same vein, if you ever need to unload a giant collection of sugar and creamer packets, we'll happily take them 🙃

Love this place!!

The person running this funraiser works tirelessly to get resources to people who need them, while building with and strengthening existing networks of community care. Check out their instagram to get more information on yesterday's raid and to see reciepts from the tent fundraiser. And most importantly, send money!

If you have extra blankets, tents, clothing, shoes, etc you'd like to share, we're still out there at Krutch Park every Saturday at 2:30. We aren't cooking together due to the pandemic, but our weekly meal hasn't missed a beat. Bring what you can, take what you need :)
