We had a almost 100 people participate in the 30-Day Plant-Based Pledge program at the Humane Society of Huron Valley last week. There were a lot of people who could not make so we are going back to give them another opportunity to participate.
We will be tabling at the Sierra Club Crossroads Earth Day Festival at the Amp in Brighton and we will be spreading awareness about the environmental benefits of eating more plant-based.
Join us for our free presentation, Plant-Based Eating: The What, How, and Why. We will discuss the health, ethical, and environmental benefits of plant-based eating, and share tips and resources for getting started. Enjoy FREE light plant-based bites as well.
VegMichigan will have a table at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market! We will be giving out free plant-based samples and asking people to sign-up for the 30-Day Plant-Based Pledge.
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.
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.
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.
