We received a grant from VegFund to put on a free feast for students complete with Tofurky roasts, all the way down to cranberries and pumpkin pie. Everything, of course, will be vegan, and we have at least 4 volunteers who are vegan, plus other volunteers who are part of our animal rights group at school. We'll hand out literature and have an info table, as well. We still have enough FARM Gentle Thanksgiving hand-outs from last year to distribute this year, so we don't need any more sent. I was, however, wondering if you have any other display materials, such as posters, etc. |
