For the last eight years Charleston FNB has served North Charleston a free lunch. We are a loose knit group of individuals and friends, with no leaders, who share a politically radical idea: everyone is entitled to a free warm meal no matter what their economic class or social status. We serve a free and hearty meal to anyone and everyone. We work together to produce, acquire and redistribute our most valuable resource: FOOD. Through donations, gardens, and scavenging we are able to take the surplus food that would otherwise be thrown away as refuse of our capitalist consumer culture and prepare with it, free vegetarian meals to the community. We operate without a budget and provide our area with an economically autonomous grassroots community empowering tool.
North Charleston Food Not Bombs is every Sunday. We begin cooking at 10:00am at 10 Newnan St. We serve at 1:00pm on Rivers Ave. outside the abandoned Bojangles.

The Charleston Women's Collective is a group of women in the Charleston community who have come together for the purpose of creating a safe space for women of all genders, races, ages, classes, and sexual orientations to come together under the commonality of female identification to voice our opinions and personal experiences. We also seek to encourage political activism in the Charleston community.

The Collective Homestead Project is a social and political experiment in practical living.  With a generous allocation of 7 acres and a house in the beautiful South Carolinian countryside, Charleston FNB is seeking to create a source of nutrition, recreation, and education.  An ambitious project, we seek to create a small scale agricultural site based on sustainability and community.  This project is still in its' beginning stages.  We are actively seeking responsible and interested individuals to get involved and follow their passions and interests at the homestead.  Our goals are to provide a constant source of food for statewide Food Not Bombs projects and a place for individuals to explore a different lifestyle.

At this point, workdays are the only time the homestead is accessible.  If you are interested contact

We are organizing for social justice around issues like housing, police violence, the shelter-industrial complex, homelessness, and rights to housing and public space. Our first mission with this email is to set up a consensus decision making network of people to defend the current housing foreclosures, resulting from the economic crisis and in general. We feel that necessities like housing and food are a right, not a priviledge. Every time i read a story about a family losing their home or see pictures of piles of possessions on the side of the road, my stomach aches.
Indeed, bearing witness to the decaying of our neighboorhooods and the suffering of our neighbors can conjure up some serious feelings of being, well, powerless to the foreclosure storm. Not to mention downright furious about how irresponsible and illogical our nation's response has been to this housing mess
We want to collectively build "Home Defender Teams." These teams will be prepared to mobilize on short notice to help defend a family's right to stay in their homes. We are seeking to build phone and email lists.
We are also planning a radical political arts festival that will be centered around the issues of gentrification, housing, and public space in the fall.
If you would like to be involved or have any ideas, just contact us through the email below.
