MFA volunteers celebrated Labor Day weekend by spreading the message of kindness and compassion to thousands of New Yorkers.
On Saturday, MFA’s crew of dedicated volunteers gave away hundreds of SO Delicious coconut milk ice cream sandwiches, along with copies of MFA’s 25 Reasons to Try Vegetarian booklets and Vegetarian Starter Kits at the ever-bustling Union Square. Folks marveled at the rich, creamy taste of the sandwiches, and were surprised to find out there are cruelty-free alternatives to virtually all the foods they know and love.
On Monday, volunteers headed to world famous Coney Island to let beach-goers know the ugly truth about factory farms. Thousands of pro-vegan leaflets were distributed, inspiring countless people to make the switch to healthy and humane vegan living.
While individual vegans save lives every time they sit down to eat, we can exponentially increase the number of animals we help by taking our message to the streets and encouraging others to try vegetarian living too. If you would like to volunteer with MFA and help spread our message of compassion for animals, please consider filling out our volunteer form or applying for an internship. If you live near one of Mercy For Animals’ chapters, we highly recommend that you join other members at our public outreach events.
