I joined the Kansas City Food Not Bombs eight years ago and it has been life changing. They do great work, of course, but it has also connected me to so much other activism in the area and helped me build a community. I was so hopeless and atomized before joining FNB and learning about mutual aid.

FnB is my favourite thing ever, it completely changed my life too. I'll never not love having dinner with a few dozen strangers, meeting amazing people from all over the world and hearing so many incredible stories. It's made me into a much better person, given me opportunities I never believed I'd get and it's kept me alive and fed when I'm not doing so well.
