Thankful for animals like Taffy and the pigs at PEAK who remind me their lives matter too. This year, I’m celebrating in a way that doesn’t ask them to sacrifice theirs 🌱

Grateful for our sustaining donors, Rachel, Skyler, Samantha, and Lorena. Have a safe and kind holiday🧡

Todd + Joy = pure friendship. 💞🐷🐴

Dominion Farm Animal Sanctuary saved Joy from a kill pen, and they honor animals like her by keeping them off their plates at events. Proud to partner with folks who live their values 🌱💚

Yesterday we spent the day at PEAK Animal Sanctuary, meeting some of the incredible residents who get to live their lives safe, loved, and free 💚

PEAK is one of our amazing partners that leads by example with a plant-based policy that shows kindness to animals everywhere, not just at the sanctuary

Laws save lives.

Since 2007, Social Compassion in Legislation has helped pass 28 laws to protect animals—from banning cosmetic testing to shelter protections.

We’re proud to stand with them to make compassion the law ❤️

Remembering Wilson 💚 A watermelon-loving gentle giant who defied the odds and reminded us why compassionate food policies matter.⁠

Groot’s got the cuteness covered—our Founding Supporters (Samantha, Skyler, Rachel & Lorena!) are helping power the mission 🐾💚

We’re building a future where orgs serve food that reflects their values. Want in?

When orgs unite for justice, powerful things happen 💥

Us: 😬

The Farm Micro Sanctuary gets it.
When your mission is to protect animals, your menu should too.

That’s why they have committed to a 100% plant-based policy at all their events🌱🐷

Also? No one does close-ups like these residents💚 Get you a sanctuary that serves plant-based and perfect snoots.

Did you know 80% of the world’s soy is grown to feed farmed animals—not humans?

At Menus for Change, we help organizations shift their food policies to reflect values of compassion and sustainability. Because when we stop feeding animals to feed people, everyone wins🌱
