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 two days later day, to share for the collective dinner we will be making.

When & Where: For the meeting, come at 7:30 ET to the tables in Bryant Park near 6th Ave at 41st St, near the fountain. (In case of inclement weather, we'll meet at the seating area inside the Whole Foods Market at 1095 6th Ave.)
For the Freeganism 101 and beginning of the Trash Tour, meet us at 9pm at the same location.
If you have trouble finding us, call or text Janet at ‭(347) 724-6954‬.
