Columbia Food Not Bombs Benefit Concert Sunday

Submitted by Columbia Food Not Bombs

Columbia Food Not Bombs has shared food with people for more than 10 years, mirroring Columbia’s values of caring for everyone in the community. 

The Look In The Mirror Concert on Sept. 8, at Conundrum Music Hall, is set to help Columbia Food Not Bombs in this endeavor. 

“While not everyone will feel the pangs of hunger, we all can look in the mirror feeling healthy, alive and generous,” says emcee John Starino, a performance poet and author, best-known around Columbia for his Beer Poem. 

Starino will perform one of his poems inspired by the local FNB chapter. The event also features local group Stillhouse, joined by John and Karri Scollon.  Singer/songwriters Jon Coxe and Russell Goodman (from the band Dr. Roundhouse), Earl Turner, Tonya Tyner, and Keith Bates will also perform.

Food Not Bombs recovers and shares food with anyone – without restriction – in more than 1,000 cities around the world. Each group is independent and invites everyone to participate in making decisions for their local chapter. 

Food Not Bombs is dedicated to taking nonviolent direct action to change society, expressing a commitment to the fact that food is a right and not a privilege. 

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $8 and can be ordered online through www.conundrum.us.  Tickets at the door will be $10.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. at Conundrum Music Hall, 626 Meeting Street, West Columbia.
