We will be giving away FREE seed packets as an alternative to the traditional store-bought flowers. We will also have some veg*n sweets so you can give a friend or loved one a tasty, sustainable treat (small donations are greatly appreciated).

We will even have some “How to have a sustainable date” guides.

***If anyone is willing to bring a vegan dessert to give out at this event, it would greatly help our cause. enVeg will be happy to compensate you!

THIS SUNDAY!!

Everyone and anyone is invited. Potlucks are a great way to enjoy delicious vegan food and meet new friends. All ya gotta do is bring a vegan dish, serving utensil, fork, plate, and your own drink. There is no theme, so bring whatever you would like. Blankets to sit on are also helpful.

Although we prefer there to be as much food as possible, we understand if you’re too busy to cook, in which case we request you make a donation of a few dollars to the enVeg cause.

You can only get free Thanksgiving food in the Plaza once a year! To celebrate this as well as Meatless Mondays, enVeg will be hosting a Vegan Thanksgiving Tasting in the Plaza of Americas. We invite everyone to come check out how delicious a sustainable Thanksgiving can be. That’s right, free food.

Some things to expect are Tofurkey with gravy, Rolls, Potatoes Au Gratin, Green Bean Casserole, Pumpkin Pie, Cashew Lentil Loaf, Cranberry Sauce, and much more.

We would more than love to have anyone willing bring a ready-to-eat vegan dish to offer to the tasters! The more delicious food we can show people, the better. Bring whatever you would like!
