7) Stove
-The two back elements have stopped working
-The oven and grill still works and one front one still works
-Could food not bombs help buy a stove or something else inside the jura kitchen, instead of a van?
-Transport is a big stress so raising money for a van seemed like the best idea
Fridges at the bower for very cheap.
Jura should put the oven
Maybe we need a joint meeting between food not bombs and Jura to talk about
