Veg*n outreach planting the seeds of awareness throughout Bay Area
Bay Area Vegetarians Advocate and Educate About Vegan Lifestyle
During October and November, Bay Area Vegetarians (BAV) has distributed vegan food samples and literature, and most recently, vegan recipes and literature. The events are not difficult to organize, volunteers enjoy them, and it gets vegan information into the hands and minds of people who may not have otherwise received this information. BAV makes the events fun using animal costumes and has pulled in renowned Northern California vegetarian Chef Alex Bury to prepare the free food offerings. On Saturday, October 28th, volunteers hit the Sharp Park Beach in Pacifica to distribute hundreds of samples of vegan grilled chik'n burgers. On Saturday, November 4th, at San Francisco Ferry Building Farmer's Market, BAV gave away hundreds of turkey-free recipes and flyers about how turkeys are raised and slaughtered. Bay Area Vegetarians' had done a similar event in March for Great American Meat-Out. From these events to vegan baking classes to demos at area KFC's in support of PETA's Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaign, BAV keep themselves busy. BAV is currently looking to expand their volunteer team to do leafleting on a regular basis in the East Bay, San Francisco, and the South Bay.
