Veg Week 2012
Join Compassionate Action for Animals September 29th - October 7th for a week-long celebration of all things veg!
Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) started our celebration all things veg back in 2004. Over the course of one week we celebrate vegetarian diets, educate the public about compassionate food choices, and inspire respect for farm animals. Events include a feed in and film screening, a potluck, a dine-out, a cooking class, and more. Check out our calendar below for a full list of events and times. If you have any questions about Veg Week or how to set up events in your area, contact Unny.
