Vegan at Dollar Tree
Before the coronavirus pandemic, volunteer Skyler Kilmer wrote an article for The Vegetarian Resource Group on how you can follow a vegan diet when food shopping at Dollar Tree.
"The Dollar Tree is an option for grocery shopping on a budget because these stores offer a range of products that are nutritious, plant-based, and $1 or less. My biggest tip for shopping at Dollar Tree is to remember it's not a grocery store; instead, it's a store that has a lot of groceries," Kilmer said.
The article, including a one-week vegan menu using ingredients from Dollar Tree, with original recipes like Chili Fries, can be read here: www.vrg.org/nutrition/vegan-at-the-dollar-tree.pdf
Hospital Survival Guide for Vegans
Camryn Bell, while doing a virtual dietetic internship rotation with The Vegetarian Resource Group during the coronavirus pandemic, created a Hospital Survival Guide for Vegans. The article provides helpful information for vegans and others concerned about food options when going into a hospital, whether it's for pregnancy, an elective or minor surgery, or for a serious ailment.
