How to Request or Provide Food to an Occupy Boston Event
Once an event has been set and it needs food, you can request food support or look to see if food support is needed by accessing the Food Support Calendar.
To access and add to the calendar, go to Take Them A Meal Recipient name is OccupyBoston and password is 5957.
To request food for a OB Event: Click on the "take" button on the day of the event. In the "meal box" write "need food" and use the spaces provided to describe the place, time and what kind of food would be good. Put an email address/phone number for contact.
To provide food for an OB Event: Check the calendar. Click on the "change" button and write "bringing food" and describe. Good food options are simple, vegetarian with vegan options, and easy to deal with and serve. For now, you will need to bring serving utensils and disposible plates, cups, napkins and spoons/forks. Bringing a jug of water is also helpful.
If you want to add to a day when someone else has already signed up, just click on the "change button" and use slash marks between names and foods.
There currently are vegetables available for making into salad and cooked food. Contact us for details.
You can get reimbursed for food and paper/plastic goods purchases for Occupy Boston events. Bring receipts to GAs or call the FAWG: 857-417-7872 or email obwg.fundingrequest@gmail.com
