Lots of Smiles at VegFest |

Thank you to all the volunteers, staff, vendors, attendees, and everyone who made the return of VegFest a big success! We had a lot of fun getting back together. The weather was perfect and crowd was bigger than expected so we would like to apologize for the long food lines. We will make improvements for next year and please share your thoughts by filling out the short survey below. |

Join the Team with our Drive for 500 |
|
We appreciate our more than 300 paying members as they are vital to our mission of promoting the health, environmental, and ethical benefits of a plant-based diet. Member support allows us to host a free VegFest, which brings out a lot of veg-curious individuals. Members also help fund our many outreach programs, free fall VegFest, 30-Day Pledge, speakers, and cooking demos. If you are not a member or your membership has lapsed, consider joining. It's money well spent and, together, we can continue to grow the plant-based movement. Memberships start at as little as $20 per year. Help us get to 500, thank you for your support! |
