About us
About:
This group was started to find vegans and vegan wannabes in the Hudson Valley. We combine Social Events and Social Action by enjoying delicious, healthful vegan food and encouraging others to do so. The more people who choose vegan food, the fewer farmed animals will be raised. You do not have to be vegan to join, just eat like one when you are with us. We get together to learn and to inform others.
------------------------------------
RSVP & Attendees:
Please note that some of our events will fill up quickly. You may notice just a few attendees here on Meetup, but others not on Meetup attend as well. We encourage you to RSVP as soon as possible if you would like to attend an event.
------------------------------------
Pay or Donate:
Payments and donations to Hudson Valley Vegans are accepted via Zelle or check. Please go to: Hudson Valley Vegans Pay or Donate for payment and donation information. We ask that you submit payment for an event at least 5 days prior to the event to secure your reservation.
