"Giving"- The Heart of Thanksgiving

In Santa Ana, there is a group of people who get together every Sunday at 3pm in front of the Santa Ana Library located at 26 Civic Center Plaza. The group is called Food Not Bombs and they gather to feed anyone who would like to stop by a delicious vegetarian meal. The meals are created from vegetables that would have been discarded. Food Not Bombs believes that food is a right, not a privilege.
Food Not Bombs is a group that epitomizes the spirit of Thanksgiving. Their message of non violent social change is parallel to the sentiments our own founding fathers were expressing by leaving an oppressive government and creating a new beginning. Food Not Bombs recreates Thanksgiving every week by offering a community feast in the spirit of peace, conservation, animal advocacy, and ending hunger. I think the pilgrims would be proud.
