BACK WITH A BANG!
We serve up delicious and free vegan food (containing no animal products) every weekday at 12:30 on the 7th floor of the Hall building. Join us for lunch, and come by anytime to volunteer: you can choose from a variety of fun tasks such as chopping veggies, serving food to your friends, or getting your hands soap-suddy with dish washing!
In the coming weeks, we'll be kick-starting our street-serving initiative. In addition to serving lunch in the Hall building, this project seeks to increase our accessibility by bringing sandwiches to the streets! We rely heavily on volunteers to make this happen, so if you're interested, come get involved!
In solidarity with other anti-corporate and anti-oppression student and community organizations, we also cater events and/or make our kitchen space available for use. If your group is interested, please fill out the the kitchen request form and send it to peoplespotato@gmail.com
Thanks and stay tuned,
The People's Potato

There's no such as baaaad publicity!
Hey, this doesn’t have much to do with music but I’m just so pissed off. I was just eating at the PEOPLE’S POTATO up in Concordia—they offer free food every day to students. I sat down with this girl and I didn’t know she was a total psycho until she started telling me I was a terrible person because I’m not VEGAN. Man, I was vegan for seven years! And I was so tired for those seven years and then one day I ate some CHICKEN and you know what? I felt great! It was like ANTI-DEPRESSANTS or something. So I started eating meat again. So I just want to say: girl from the People’s Potato, I’m just going to keep eating meat, you didn’t change my mind. But you did ruin my day.
Editor's notes:
Actually, we offer food by-donation every day, and it's for anyone, not just students.
If you see any other People's Potato junk out there, let us know!
