Vegans feeding people

By Ari | Mar 2, 08 04:05 PM

I was just doing some research into overlaps between veganism and mutual aid, and was a little shocked at how few programs for hungry folk are run by vegans. It's too bad, it seems like a really good idea! It's safer to prepare and handle than animal-based food, and can be cheaper, too - and giving cruelty-free food to people who need it seems like a natural extension of the vegan ideal of ahimsa (most good / least harm).

Here are a few organizations that are vegan or vegetarian - anyone know of any others?

  • Food Not Bombs - freegan, anarchist free vegan food movement
  • Vegfam sustainable, vegan agriculture projects aimed at reducing hunger and providing disaster relief
  • Food for Life Hare Krishna-run lacto-vegetarian food aid and disaster relief program
  • The People's Potato worker-owned vegetarian soup kitchen
  • Freegan.info freegan feasts, trash tours and community meals
