Food for Thought had a wonderful experience at our second in-person conference this year! Tami Andrew, our East Coast Coordinator, recently attended the Best Friends National Conference in Raleigh, NC.
OUR BOOTH
All the attendees who stopped by our booth were friendly and understood our mission. Many of them are vegan or vegetarian and aware of Food for Thought. It was great to meet some of our supporters!
Food for Thought Sticker
We offered fun giveaways for this conference. We gave out free “Choose Compassion” goat stickers and “Go Vegan!” bracelets. We also hosted a raffle. The prize included homemade dog bandanas and catnip toys sewn by Crystal, our Program Manager, and a decorative sign that says “You can’t buy love, but you can rescue it.” We asked attendees to leave their business card to enter the raffle. We will draft up a vegan menu policy for their organization after the conference.
Raffle Prize
We added fun facts about farmed animals and farmed stuffed animals on our table. Attendees loved them so much! They took photos of these and wanted to know if the farmed stuffed animals were included in the raffle!
VEGAN FOOD
Best Friends Animal Society is a Food for Thought Policy Leader and they served vegan food at this conference. It was delicious and many of the attendees complimented it!
