Vegan Outreach distributed free vegan meals and groceries to communities severely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Since April 2020, we’ve served meals and grocery bags totaling over 3,098,737 vegan meals—that means 3,098,737 meals and bags of groceries to food-insecure families! Our last food distribution was July 1, 2022. We are no longer continuing this Vegan Food Aid program.

This work truly stretched community-wide as we partnered with other social justice organizations to serve communities. We primarily served the same individuals repeatedly for a long period of time, in order to sustain them during this pandemic and further introduce them to a vegan lifestyle. Not only has providing support to our communities allowed us to additionally support local restaurants, grocers, and organizations, but it has also kept our outreach team employed as public outreach has come to a halt.
