About the event
*PLEASE NOTE: This is an auto-generated event with a default date. Please check back closer to the beginning of each month to see our updated and confirmed dates and events for that month.*
Help make freeganism happen in NYC! At our organizational meetings we discuss and decide on future activities and group direction. Participants are encouraged to step up and introduce new freegan projects with the support of the group, or take roles such as facilitating meetings or bottom-lining events. We welcome both those with experience taking part in non-hierarchical consensus-based groups and those participating for the first time. Then at 9pm, we will have a brief, newcomer-friendly discussion about freeganism before exploring the area’s wasted food and other goods. We give advice on how to salvage these goods, and comment on the reasons for such waste. *Consider bringing some of the food you find to the Freegan Feast the next day, to share for the collective dinner we will be making.*
When & Where: For the meeting, come at 7:30 ET to (TBD). For the Freeganism 101 and beginning of the Trash Tour, meet us at 9pm in the same location. If you have trouble finding us, call or text Janet at (347) 724-6954.
*DEAR FRIENDS: THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!* *Thanks to your generosity over the years in donating to our GoFundMe, we now have a couple years' worth of our expenses covered! We don't want to fundraise just for fundraising's sake, so we're pulling down our GoFundMe now that we've met and exceeded our goal, and have a bit of savings to cover us for the future. Thank you again for your support!!!*
