SANDY RELIEF PROGRAM
http://www.foodnotbombs.net/relief.html

These are some of the things you can do to help us respond effectively
to these disasters. 

1. Organize a meeting this week - calling, emailing and posting flyers
about the need for people to help and remember to include the day, time
and location of the meeting.

2. At the meeting organize committees that will focus on seeking food
donations, propane stoves, tanks of gas, tables and cooking equipment.
Ask another committee to recruit more volunteers and organize another
committee responsible for transportation. Another committee can organize
benefit concerts and other fundraising projects.

3. Choose a time, date and location for where your vehicles will gather
to take the trip to the disaster area.

4. Collect 25 and 50 pound bags of rice, beans, 25 and 50-pound bags of
rice, beans, black-eyed peas, lentils and any other large amounts of dry
goods, pasta cooking oil, spices and other non perishable food. We can
also use propane stoves, kitchen equipment, pop up tents, sleeping
tents, folding tables, water jugs, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, socks,
medical equipment, batteries and other personal items.

5. Once on site you can organize your kitchen and encourage survivors
to help prepare the next meal. This will be very helpful to those who
may have lost their homes giving them a useful task to help ease their
pain. They can help you set up the kitchen equipment, join your
volunteers in collecting locally discarded produce, bread and other
surplus food. Other volunteers can seek a source of fresh water and
organize the resupply of water to the kitchen.

6. Contact us to report on your progress and request support by
emailing our office at menu@foodnotbombs.net or calling us at
1-800-884-1136.
