A reflection on the past year - Discussion & Thoughts 2009
Thinking back on 2009, Long Island Food Not Bombs did a lot! It was a year of community solidarity. As friends, as neighbors, as individuals, we all struggled against the hardships forced onto us by the recession. But as a community we were able to overcome them. And with that in mind we invite you to glance over some of our achievements in the past year.

Less talk, more action - Discussion and Thoughts 2009
“Less talk, more action”. Each experience that I’ve shared with LIFNB over the past year has renewed this adage for me.
From the day in June 2009 when I first participated with LIFNB and Hempstead community members to improve the quality of their living space by planting sunflowers in Mirchell Park, I could sense this group’s unique potential to positively impact Long Island.

The Mirschel Park community gardening project was a huge success
Our gardening project at Mirschel Park was a huge success. We planted tens-of-thousands of sunflower seeds across thousands of square feet of the park with the help of nearly a hundred volunteers over a three-day weekend of community direct action.
