Food Not Cops (FNC), a volunteer-run mutual aid effort in Burlington, has served a free daily meal for the last five years. They gather around hot meals cooked by community members and combine relationships and resources to secure whatever people need: clothing, toiletries, medicine, communication devices, camping gear, etc. FNC began at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, as a partnership between Food Not Bombs Burlington and BTV Copwatch. Food Not Cops has since evolved into a network of neighbors organizing to meet each other’s needs outside of markets and government programs.
Join us in this episode as we talk with FNC group member, Dr. Sam Bliss and discuss food insecurity, mutual aid movements, and current pressures facing FNC.
