FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Adopting an Animal-Friendly Menu Policy



Food for Thought is a program of Animal Place designed to help organizations like yours adopt an animal-friendly menu policy for their sponsored events.

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

The Food for Thought campaign can help align your organization’s menu with its mission by adopting a formal policy regarding the types of food it serves
…​ or doesn’t serve! To many people, rabbits, horses, goats, sheep, and chickens are companions too, equally worthy of compassion and respect.

Visit our Endorsements page to see the hundreds of animal nonprofits who have already adopted more animal-friendly menu policies. Interested in throwing your first vegetarian or vegan event? We have Resources to help you secure product donations, plan the menu, and find veg-friendly caterers and food trucks in your area. Ready to adopt a plant-based menu policy? Apply for a $250 Food for Thought Grant!
​

Food for Thought is a campaign of Animal Place, a 501(c)(3) non-profit sanctuary, home to 500 farmed animals in northern California.
