Our year-end fundraising campaign continues through the month of December, and we need your help with it so that we can improve the lives of farmed animals.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 by the 31st. As you can see on the homepage of our website, we’re making progress but still have a way to go. Please share our most recent Facebook post about the fundraiser and then scroll down for a few easy ways you can help get the word out.

Wanting to get more involved in helping to plan some upcoming events in the new year? Consider joining the planning committees for our Vegan Chili Cook-Off or our Annual Banquet. You could have a significant impact on our programs and how we make a difference for the animals.

We hope to see you at our December Potluck: Holiday Party (and Farewell Party!) on the 27th. We have lots to celebrate. Let me know if you can lend a hand with setup or cleanup. Plus, we’ll have cupcakes from Vegan East!

Best wishes,

Justin Leaf, Communications & Events Coordinator
