How to Request or Provide Food to an Occupy Boston Event

To request food for a OB Event: Please provide as much lead time as possible. Email occupyboston.food@gmail.com with the date and time of the event, time you would like food, and what kind of food/beverage would be good. Put an email address/phone number for contact. People dropping off food at downtown locations usually will need help bringing in food. The food working group will make an effort to help provide food, but we are still working on building our capacity to meet OB's food needs.

To provide food for an OB Event: Please join and stay tuned to the OB Food Google Group where requests will circulate. You can also coordinate to provide food regularly -- for GA's, Free School University, Outreach, Community Events. Such regular food help is really needed and appreciated. In general, you can spontaneous bring food or beverages to ANY OB event and it will be appreciated -- remember that the churches don't allow food in the sanctuaries and that you will need to bring the serving utensils and disposible plates, cups, napkins and spoons/forks that your donation needs. Good food options are simple, vegetarian with vegan options, and easy to deal with and serve. Bringing a jug of water is also helpful. And cookies.

There are vegetables available for making into salad and cooked food. Contact us for details.

You can get reimbursed for food and paper/plastic goods purchases for Occupy Boston events. Bring receipts to GAs or call the FAWG: 857-417-7872 or email obwg.fundingrequest@gmail.com
