Hey all,

It's been a while since I've put-up a post here..

a brief update:

for
the last couple of months, the 'London Food Not Bombs' crew has just
been organizing informally by word of mouth as well as, on occasion,
preparing meals outside of the 'last-sunday-of-the-month' routine. 
all
is cool, but due mostly to my lack of co-ordinating, the group has been
organizing somewhat under the radar of most of the rest of you.  read more »

Hey everybody,

It's been a couple of months since I've sent-out an e-mail to this list.
It's been a very busy summer for a lot of us, but I'm glad to hear that
the Food Not Bombs meals have been continuing in everyone's absence. Hats-off to everyone who has dedicated themselves to pulling things together for the last couple of meals.  read more »

Hi everyone,

This Sunday we're planning on doing another
Last-Sunday-Of-The-Month FOOD NOT BOMBS meal, and just want to put the
word out as always for any of you that would like to join us this
weekend.
We'll be cooking out of
the kitchen at the Empowerment Centre (636 Queens ave.) starting at
2:00pm, then heading over to Campbell memorial Park (on Dundas between
Colbourn and Waterloo) to serve the meal from 5:00-7:00pm.
Whatever amount of time you can offer would be a big help.  read more »

A few months ago, one of our local food suppliers came to us and asked if we would throw our support behind renting a commercial kitchen in London where she could work and where we might open a second cafe. It was early for us to do that, but we wanted to help so we commited to this project. Two months into what is now The Briscoe Cafe, our cook dropped out of the project leaving us to open the cafe and cook most of our food. Well, we have struggled to meet this challenge and last weekend we opened the doors of The Briscoe. Its a happy event for sure, but we are kind of desperate for help.  read more »

We are opening a second cafe at Briscoe and Wharncliffe called The Briscoe and it has a commercial kitchen. We only need the kitchen once a week to make our own food so we want to offer to rent the commercial premises out by the day to people who want to use it. Usually rental for a commercial facility runs $12-35 an hour because you can legally sell what you make there. Instead of doing that kind of pay scale, we want to encourage people who do community events, or who want to start up their own biz, or whatever to use this kitchen as a cheap way to get things done.  read more »

Hey all.

It's been a little bit of a break since our last Food Not Bombs meal.
Last couple of times had to be canceled due to a lack of help.

I know most of y'all were wrapping-up school last month, which is good
and all, but it's been done now for weeks so I better see you out.

I've spoken to a couple of the other key volunteers, and we were thinking
that it might be nice to take this month's meal outside to the park.  read more »

Howdy all!

It's been a pretty good stretch since our last meet.

Thanks to all that came and helped-out with the last two meals.  read more »
