We’re happy to report on another successful event, this time by Citizen Coalition for Wildlife and Environment, of Grand Island, NY. Wildlife Appreciation and Education Day brought together a diverse group of people to talk about and educate on compassionate coexistence and habitat and wildlife protection—and snacks were provided through our Food for Thought vegan event grant!

Event organizer Dave Reilly said that the food was a big hit, with many attendees expressing their shock that it was all vegan. The enticing comfort food spread put together by local community college food service included vegan “mac and cheese,” plant-based sliders, and pickled beet and chef salads. According to Reilly, the college caterer was so pleased with their completely vegan menu, that they plan to advertise it as an option for future events, which will help even more functions go vegan!

​A big thanks to the Coalition for encouraging people to consider the choices they make that affect both animals and the environment.
