our programs
plant-based festIvals
VegMichigan’s Plant-Based Festivals have been a cornerstone of our public outreach for more than two decades, introducing tens of thousands of people to the joys and benefits of plant-based eating. These events combine a welcoming atmosphere with educational presentations, cooking demos, nonprofit partners, kids activities, and a wide variety of plant-based food to create a vibrant and engaging community experience. Learn more about our upcoming Spring VegFest.
communIty outreach
VegMichigan’s Community Outreach consists of presentations, free food sampling, cooking demonstrations, tabling, library displays, restaurant Meetups, our monthly e-newsletter, and our social media engagement.
30-day plant-based pledge
Our 30-Day Plant-Based Pledge is like no other, enhancing our Community Outreach efforts, because individuals who sign up receive a free bag of food to take home, such as Beyond Burgers, Planet Oatmilk, Miyoko’s cheese, and other popular items. Participants are often shocked at the offer and excited to try these foods for the first time. Thousands of people have participated in the 30-Day Plant-Based Pledge since its inception in 2020. This year, we plan to work with a researcher from Stanford University to coordinate a randomized control group to gather more data on the impact of this program.
