Food for Thought is a program of Animal Place, one of the oldest
and largest sanctuaries for farmed animals in the United States.
We help nonprofit organizations extend their compassion
to all animals by adopting a plant-based menu policy for events.
What is a plant-based menu policy?
A plant-based menu policy is a written, board-approved policy. The policy states that organizational funds will only be spent on vegan foods for your guests at events and fundraisers. Adopting a policy aligns your menu with your mission of saving animal lives and establishes you as a Food For Thought Policy Leader.
What is a Policy Leader?
A Policy Leader is an organization that has adopted a plant-based menu policy that is verified with Food For Thought. Your organization is welcome to create your own policy or we can help by writing a plant-based menu policy on your behalf. With your permission, we will list your organization on the Policy Leaders page of our website and promote you on social media.
