The food tent constantly needs volunteers to do the following:

* wash dishes.
* organize our supplies.
* keep the general food tent area clean.


The food tent is going well. In fact, your generosity has slightly overwhelmed us. We would like to put a hold on non-”ready-to-eat” food donations until we have gotten through our current back stock. We cannot thank you all enough for your generosity.
Volunteering with the Food Working Group is a great way to meet people at Occupy Boston. Just about EVERYONE stops by the food tent for a bite to eat or something to drink!


We are moving away from non-reusable plates. Plates and utensils will be handled by logistics. Our current system was simply not sustainable in the face of a long occupation. We are organizing a dish washing station, and have a shipment of reusable containers coming in next week.

If you have any to spare, we could still use insulated containers to transport and serve food in!
Our resources are quite limited on-site, so we strongly urge those interested in donating food to donate '''prepared foods'''.


It is always a pleasure serving you all.

First, the food group would like to thank everyone who has brought food to us, who have been so generous to all of us and who have shown their faith in this movement. Thank you. Secondly, on a personal level, I want to thank the amazing crew of volunteers, from Food Not Bombs and now our own organization who have stepped up to make the food tent work as well as it does.

We desperately need volunteers, especially in the daytime. We have a schedule at the food tent where you can sign up for a shift. Please email me at the address below if you have any questions.


Please no more bread for the time being! We have too much as it is.<br>

About the Food Working Group and Food Tent

The Food Working Group runs the Food Tent at Occupy Boston. We the primary source for collecting, preparing, and serving food and drink to the protestors and guests at Occupy Boston.
