Thank you to Heather Francis, Emily Klesitz, Rebecca Lordon, and Tina Urban, who volunteered at The Vegetarian Resource Group booth at New Jersey VegFest. Heather reported: A lot of the people who stopped by were individuals who were transitioning and needed advice. Other individuals were teachers who wanted resources/were looking for resources. The Vegetarian Resource Group My Vegan Plate handout was the most popular and many people seemed to enjoy it. A lot of people loved that we had materials available. One guy in particular liked us because we weren’t a business trying to make a profit, rather handing out free resources to those who wanted information. There were questions about the Vegan Pregnancy book by our Nutrition Advisor Reed Mangels, RD.
