Hey y'all, I'm in "north" Nashville for a few weeks and am wondering where the good feeds/pantries/dumpsters are at. Dumpsters especially. Am discreet and will not blow up a spot. If you're down to show me, that's awesome, tell me about some places, that's awesome too.

I can't find current info about the Nashville Chapter of Food Not Bombs, but here's what I got from the internet. You can try to write people to confirm the details, but I'm not sure they're still operating. If they are, you can get a free vegan meal.

600 Church St. Nashville, TN (park across from main library downtown"
Some places said Saturday, some Sundays 1:30-2:30pm

When I was there food not bombs was extremely difficult to track down (though multiple people I met assure me they did feeds). We did get our hands on this book and it was quite helpful though: https://www.wttin.org/ The homeless shelter there has hard copies. If you're gonna be there a while it's a good thing to have handy. There were feeds pretty much every day (several days had multiple feeds) and even a place to do laundry that gave out fancy bread from publix. I didn't have much luck with the dumpsters, panhandling, or busking there but the other resources were excellent.

Don't let the cops bite!

*edit* most of these resources are faith based but when I was in contact with them they never pushed it too much (though one feed is followed by an optional sermon/worship session)

*edit 2* the homeless shelter there (specifically the rescue mission) won't allow you to have pocket knives/bladed tools on you or in your bag and there is not place to store your stuff there so I never went to those feeds
