Big thanks to all of the volunteers who helped to make Twin Cities Veg Fest a huge success! We hope you had fun.

Now that Twin Cities Veg Fest is over, you’ll find that our list of volunteers opportunities is much shorter. Yet what we have listed here is all very important. After all, we’ve engaged a lot of new people at the festival and will need support for upcoming events where those new people may be in attendance.

We are now preparing for our Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck, and we need a lot more volunteers to make that event go smoothly. Please contact Paula Huerkamp at [email protected] to sign up.

Scroll down for the entire list of upcoming volunteer opportunities with links for more information.

Best wishes,

Justin Leaf, Communications & Events Coordinator
