FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Adopting Animal-Friendly and earth-friendly Menu PolicIES


Food for Thought, a program of Animal Place, helps animal and environmental nonprofits
​adopt animal- and earth-friendly menu policies for fundraising and sponsored events.

Animal Shelters, Humane Societies, and Rescues
In addition to dogs and cats, your shelter may rescue farmed animals like rabbits, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, and cows. Like every good shelter, you strive to find forever homes for the animals you save, and yet farmed animals may still be served as the main course at your official functions.

Wildlife Organizations
Your organization may rescue and rehabilitate wildlife, or fight to protect endangered species. You are doing your best to protect wild animals and the ecosystems they inhabit. Meanwhile, farmed animals may still be on the plate at your events—even though animal agriculture comes at a huge cost to wildlife with species killed to protect livestock interests, habitat destruction, and loss of biodiversity. ​

Environmental Organizations
Your mission may be to raise awareness about humankind’s effect on the environment: climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation, pollution, and water usage. With meat production shown to be a major (by many counts, the largest) contributor to worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, does it make sense to support your efforts with fundraising events that feature animal products?

SEEKING ADVOCATES
We're 
looking for dedicated, driven volunteers to help us reach out to organizations that are
still serving meat and other animal products at their events and fundraisers.
