I organized a group like this years ago (before Meetup.com existed) that worked great (lots of good veggie food, fun & fellowship). Also, there are vegetarian & Christian meetup groups, but I decided to start organizing this one so there will be more offerings for our community! The format that worked well before was a potluck at member homes &/or churches on a rotating monthly basis, so I envision doing the same again. Depending on interest, in addition to breaking bread together we might incl …

Food is a right, not a privilege. Food Not Bombs is a community program that uses donations of food to from local grocery stores to prepare a free community meal. The food otherwise would have been thrown out by the stores, illustrating the problems of relying on a purely market-based model to distribute resources within our communities. We cook & serve every Monday at the Interactive Resource Center ( 407 East Washington... St., Downtown) from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. From November to March we serve …

I hope this group can be a place where all us moms who are a little different from the mainstream …
