Membership Drive Match with Two Months to Reach Our Goal

JC, VegMichigan's founder (on the left), helped organize VegFest at Ferndale High School during VegMichigan's early years.

VegMichigan's Membership Drive continues this month, with only two months left to reach our goal of 400 members. As an added incentive, JC, VegMichigan's founder, is offering a $2,000 match for new memberships, renewals, and the donation portion for each fundraiser dinner purchase. If you've been thinking about joining or renewing, now is the time! Your membership support will go even further with JC's generous match.

With Giving Tuesday on December 1, join or renew now so you don't have to think about it. As another successful year winds down, we especially appreciate every membership donation we receive. Thank you for supporting our work! Join Here
