Outreach for Animals Week 2009 Wrap-Up

Last week wrapped up Outreach for Animals Week 2009, during which volunteers passed out informational booklets on factory farming and compassionate eating choices and raised funds to support farm animal advocacy!

Help Us Furnish Our New Office

CAA is excited to announce our latest expansion. We've signed a lease on a large off-campus office at 2100 First Ave S in Minneapolis.

This new office will serve as a meeting and work space for our growing numbers of non-student volunteers. We will be able to engage even more people in helping animals and increase our off-campus outreach efforts.

Please note that we will still have a significant presence at our on-campus office. This is an expansion, not a move!

You can help us make this office a success. In order to save money, we are asking for donations of furniture and office equipment. We'd much rather spend money on animal advocacy than furnishing our office. If you have something you'd like to donate, please email us at info@exploreveg.org or call us at 612-276-2242.

Learn more about our new office and what you can do to help on our website.

Article: Turning Over a New Leaf: Vegan Diets are Moving More Solidly into Mainstream

By Korky Vann, as printed in The Hartford Courant
October 8, 2009

There's a new food trend simmering, but if you want to give it a try, you'll have to revise your grocery list. Meat, poultry and fish? Out. Milk, cheese, eggs and dairy of any kind? Gone. Oh yes, and that bear-shaped container of honey in your cabinet? History.

Instead, you'll be stocking up on fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts and soy products, all mainstays of a vegan diet. But forget the things you've heard about this type of cooking being boring and tasteless. Vegan gourmet is in, and that's no tofu baloney...

Vegans, it seems, are the latest high-profile foodies...
