Most thrift stores should have cheap cookware.
Try the dumpsters behind the supermarkets, etc. You might need to check often to figure out what days they throw out produce.

Me and my friend want to start a chapter of Food Not Bombs in our community but we are running into trouble.
We can't find cookware, and the super market chains are being less then sympathetic in donating produce.
We're thinking of looking to The Salvation Army for cookware.
Any advice, or personnel accounts would be nice.
Thank You.
But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

Thrift stores are a good source of cookware, also check the 1 dollar/euro type stores.
A useful source of food cooked and uncooked are restaurants. Every night they throw out tons of good and not-so-good stuff.
Then also try motels/hotels that serve breakfasts bagels (aka stale donuts).

I'll ask my friend who works at a Holiday Inn.
Thanks guys. I'll keep you all updated.

Do you have regular markets where you live? Go ook around there when they start packing up, most stalls will be happy to give you some food they were about to throw away.
Define regular markets?
Sorry I am unfamiliar with that term.

Befriend someone that works in a grocery store. Most grocery stores (at least the one that I work in) throw out anything that will expire in one week or less. If you get some sympathetic workers to give you some of the food, that would be a great way to get it, especially things like dairy products which are thrown out constantly due to their short shelf life.
You seem neat, but...
They divide us by our color, they divide us by our tongue,
They divide us men and women, they divide us old and young,
But they'll tremble at our voices when they hear these verses sung,
For the Union makes us strong!
when people come together on a square, set up stalls and sell different kinds of things, check the food stalls
My advice is to stay away from the Starvation Army. I've got no beef with public feedings, but I recommend trying to organize more of a permanent and consistent food supply for people, like the Panthers' breakfast program.
It would be really great if more FNBs started down stuff like this. Not that traditional FNB isn't doing great stuff.
Also, the Panthers probably had more numbers than your average FNB chapter. But whatever, it's an idea.
They don't believe you.
Bums, they say, do this all the time.

I have met some members of the FNB collective in Croatia this year and I wasn't dissapointed. They were totally okay and food was great. I think that there is an unformal FNB-like action in Novi Sad around the CK13 centre too.
Yup, that's a cool idea, here people take food from market-place only.
