FOOD FOR THOUGHT • SHELTER REPORT CARD

Food for Thought is reaching out to organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada to ask about their menu policies. Here are the results! This is a dynamic list—we invite you to check back periodically to monitor our progress.​ Please note: This is a ranking of how far an organization has gone to formalize their veg menu policy. We feel that the only way to ensure lasting change is with a board-approved animal friendly menu policy.

We have concentrated our efforts so far on the following regions:
USA--California & Southwest: CA, AZ, NV, NM, CO, UT; Great Lakes: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI; Northeast: CT, DE, DC, MA, ME, MD, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VA, VT; Northwest: OR, WA; CANADA--AB, BC, ON.

We also maintain a Wildlife & Environmental Report Card.

KEY

C Vegan and/or vegetarian policy (NOT board-approved)
D Meat based policy with veg options (written and board-approved)
