There is a new partnership that allows supporters of Occupy Wall Street to purchase food from local street vendors, to donate to the protest
It was announced recently that the Street Vendor Project has teamed up with Occupy Wall Street to let those who want to donate food to the movement do so, while also helping local businesses.
Instead of donating food directly to OWS, generous folk can donate to the Street Vendor Project, a nonprofit, which will then use that money to buy foods from local vendors to feed the protesters. This way not only do the occupiers get good grub, but hardworking vendors get paid
The carts affiliated with the Street Vendor Project/OWS include the New York Hot Dog Cart, Sam’s Falafel, Aly’s Breakfast Cart, Coffee on the Run, Bombay Biryani, NY Life and Fruit Salad Bar, Biryani House, 99% Vegetarian and A-Pou’s Taste.
Through this platform, supporters from across the country and around the world can view vendor profiles and purchase food to be donated. Vendors will be able to participate in the growing excitement of the OWS movement and contribute to sustaining it.
