6. Participate in your local Food Not Bombs chapter.
7. Arrange a weekly potluck.
8. Get involved in local Freegan activities or groups.
9. Buy as much locally grown food as you can when you do go grocery shopping (frequent only farmers markets or the local section of your supermarket, support local farmers and your local economy, buy from mom and pop shops and funnel your hard earned cash straight back into your neighborhood).
10. Cease to impulse buy, or every time you have a craving to impulse buy something you don’t need to subsist, take that 5 bucks or whatever it was you were going to spend and donate it.
11. Carry around a granola bar or something for each meal you’ve eaten any given day, and when someone panhandles you for money or food, give it to them.
12. Feed stray cats your leftovers.
13. Volunteer in a food pantry warehouse.

15. Put out a bird/squirrel feeder.
16. Plant a fruit tree.
17. Feed wildlife (carefully…;-)
18. Water a plant.
19. Pick fruit and wild berries, make a fruit basket or fruit jam and give it to a stranger or someone you love.
20. Start a garden – nourish the earth, pick the produce and give it away.
21. Send a care package to a soldier overseas (or to someone you know away at college).
22. Find someone eating alone, sit with them, and pay for their meal afterward.
23. Post a CraigsList ad to find people who are hungry.
24. Invite a long lost friend out to lunch to catch up.
25. Buy kitchen utensils for a women’s shelter to help them when the get out on their own.
