Help Us Reach Our Membership Drive Goal

VegMichigan has been working toward a goal of 400 members this year, and we have 69 to go! Please consider joining or renewing to support our outreach programs throughout the year. With your support, we can reach more people with the benefits of plant-based eating, and feedback following our programs continues to show we're making an impact. Check out the email below from the co-chair of the host organization at our Washtenaw Climate Reality virtual presentation last month, and please consider joining or renewing here. Thank you!


"Just a short note here...to thank you for joining us and giving your superb presentation to our group on Tuesday evening! We all loved it and we all learned a lot...I think we’ll all think hard about our diets after hearing your talk. Thanks again...and keep up the great work!"

David Gurk, co-chair, Washtenaw Climate Reality
