Help out with the 15th Annual Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck on Saturday, November 11 at Matthews Park in Minneapolis. When you volunteer, you can do all these awesome things:
- Help foster a community of people who care about animals
- Help people who are new to vegan eating feel more comfortable
- Meet other people who care about animals
The potluck will be held from noon to 2:30pm, and we need volunteer help from 8am to 4pm. All positions will include breaks to enjoy the food.
