Today, we distributed 50 vegan roasts in downtown St. Louis!

🐷💚☃️ Thank you to the two tremendously dedicated volunteers who joined us for our Vegmas Vegan Roast Giveaway today!

We distributed 50 vegan roasts, had dozens of great conversations, and inspired hundreds of passersby to consider a more compassionate, plant-based lifestyle. And honestly—the weather was gorgeous for mid-December. ☀️

We hosted this event in collaboration with PETA, and we loved spreading Vegmas cheer to everyone who stopped to talk with us. This was event #55 for St. Louis chapter this year, and we couldn’t be prouder. 🎉

Shoutout to our volunteers for being adaptable and relentless: we even had to relocate our setup after getting started, and they handled it like pros.

Today was a perfect reminder of something we say all the time: one extra person can change everything. One helper can turn “we barely pulled it off” into “we truly did it!”

So if you’ve ever seen one of our outreach events and thought, “Maybe I should go…” — this is your sign. Be the one. Show up once. Bring a friend. Help animals. ✊🐮🐷🐔

This New Year, commit to being that one person—if not all the time, then at least once or twice a year. 💚
