Registration appreciated
Registration is appreciated so we know how much food to make. Registration is not required — come donate and hang out even if you just see this morning-of!
What to Bring
Please bring a donation of one or more of the vegan food items listed below. Please be sure that they are new items that are within their expiration or “best buy” date, and that they are entirely vegan (e.g., no cheese in pasta sauces).

Examples include:
- Pasta and pasta sauce
- Canned or dried fruit
- Canned or dried beans
- Cooking oils
- Flours
- Nuts or nut butters
- Seeds or trail mix
- Canned vegetables
- Shelf-stable plant milk

Meet like-minded community members
Meet others who care about animals, veganism, and food access during the donation drop off period. There will also be Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) board and/or staff members present, if you’re curious about other CAA programs.
Get yummy food as a thank you
We’ll have some simple food and snacks on offer as a thank you for your food donation. You can enjoy them while you have an opportunity to chat with others and check out our resources.
