Starting 10/23/22!
Join us to share free food and collect and distribute cold weather gear for our homeless community members, many of whom were recently displaced from the former Purple Cliffs encampment.
We are currently gathering every Sunday from 2-4PM in Buckley Park. This is subject to change, pending various scenarios, so stay tuned!
Bring food to share (prepared dishes, groceries and non-perishables for distribution, etc.), warm gear for the cold season (wool socks, gloves, mittens, jackets, coats, sleeping bags, tents, etc.), personal hygiene supplies, etc. Please bring items that are in good condition and do not use this as an opportunity to discard tattered items upon the less privileged. This is #SolidarityNotCharity
If you have a food or gear donation to offer, contact durangofoodnotbombs@riseup.net to arrange a drop-off or pick-up (we may not be able to accept all offers, depending on our capacity. Thank you for your undestanding).
We are poor and working class community organizers, and intend to do #MutualAid work regularly and often spontaneously. We view the city’s event permitting process as a classist barrier designed to exclude the poor and working class, and thus will not engage with it.
We feel it’s currently important that we make this work as visible as possible, rather than discrete, hidden, and out of the way (as we have often done in the past). The community must not turn away from poverty or the city’s war on the poor. Thus, we gather in dignity and solidarity in the heart of downtown Durango.
Join us!
Contact durangofoodnotbombs@riseup.net for more info or to get involved.
*Note on taking pictures: We acknowledge that it’s important to document our work to some degree, but request that people do not photograph others without their explicit permission and enthusiastic consent. We’re not here to center ourselves in social media photo-ops.
