Since 2010 we have partnered with social service agencies providing food for their clients living in poverty. Our healthy vegetarian foods promote good health! We offer fresh produce, frozen foods, rice, pasta, sauce, canned goods, protein rich legumes and other nourishing foods to over 3,000 people every year.
Animal agriculture is a leading cause of of pollution and resource depletion. According to a report published by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, raising animals for meat generates more greenhouse gas emissions than all cars, trucks, planes and other forms of transportation combined. Because we are a pure vegetarian food bank, we help save natural resouces like water, electricity and land helping to slow down climate change.
Although we are people oriented, we do care about animal's welfare too. The animals used in today's food industry are just as capable of feeling pain, sorrow and affection as the companion animals we keep in our homes. The most important step we can take to reduce animal suffering in the world is to phase animal foods out of our food choices.
Your donation to Kind Veg on Erie Gives Day will not only help provide nourshing food to people, you will also help to slow down climate change and help save some animals used in the food industry. To learn more, please visit our website at www.kindveg.org and facebook.com/kindveg
