Quick heads up 👇

Vegan Meetup @ Nawab's Indian Cuisine won’t be a fully vegan buffet—but Nawab's Indian Cuisine is working with us to include a solid selection of vegan dishes.

So if you’ve been wanting more vegan-friendly options around Springfield… this is how we make that happen.

Show up, support, and enjoy some incredible food 🍛

🧘🌱💚 Huge thanks to the 4 wonderful individuals who joined us for our Vegan Yoga Night!
What didn’t go quite as planned ended up becoming something even more special.

There’s nothing like being in a room full of compassionate, like-minded people 💚

Yoga and veganism are a natural pair; both are rooted in the principle of ahimsa, or non-harm, extending compassion to our bodies, animals, and the world around us.

If you couldn’t make it, we’d love to have you at the next one. More opportunities to connect, grow, and show up for animals are on the way.

🐥🌱🐷 Huge thank you to the 3 amazing people who came out to leaflet at Winter Jam!

Together, we showed up at one of the busiest events in the region and distributed an incredible 2,900 leaflets—each one a chance to spark compassion and potentially save lives. 💚

We shared powerful, thought-provoking booklets from the Christian Vegetarian Association, leading to meaningful conversations and planting seeds of change all throughout the crowd.

With every leaflet shared, we move closer to a world where animals are treated with the compassion they deserve.
