We are proud to announce the first ever recipient of the new Food for Thought Vegan Event Grant! The Alberta Spay Neuter Task Force (ASNTF), which helps reduce companion animal overpopulation in Canada’s First Nation communities, held a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon earlier this month. From all accounts, it was a smashing success!
Jackie Lind, the Medical Manager for ASNTF, reported that the event “was well attended” with a “fun atmosphere and rave reviews about the food.” “[The food] was amazing and most people had several plates full,” she added. And we can see why!
ASNTF served up a delicious 100% plant-based buffet including Thai tofu subs, falafel skewers, two varieties of popcorn chicken, jackfruit pulled pork tacos with coleslaw, loaded nachos with homemade salsa and guacamole, and assorted vegan sushi rolls. They topped it off with blueberry vanilla cupcakes for dessert.
The food was catered by local restaurants in Calgary, AB, including the all vegan Dandelion Cafe, with the vegan sushi from Globefish, and cupcakes from Planet Organic.
We are proud to have sponsored this event with our Vegan Event Grant and wish ASNTF all the best as they continue their amazing work and further become truly humane leaders!
