John,

As COVID rates skyrocketed earlier this year, many families faced food insecurity for the first time. That’s why, with your support, Mercy For Animals partnered with grassroots organizations and 15 vegan restaurants to donate and distribute 1,800 healthy meals through our Plants to the People initiative.

On a beautiful day in Newark, New Jersey, families gathered in a once abandoned lot that is now a community garden lush with fruits and vegetables. Volunteers handed out delicious plant-based meals, and children went home with a nutrient-dense dinner because of this program and your support, John.

This initiative nourishes the community with healthy plant-based food, celebrates the essential work of grassroots organizations, and gives well-deserved visibility to Black-owned restaurants.

The Mercy For Animals team has been and continues to be dedicated to supporting initiatives that bring healthy plant-based foods to underserved communities. Through our food policy program, we have advocated sustainable plant-based policies and assisted school districts with recipe creation and nutritional support.

Help us construct a compassionate food system by making a gift to Mercy For Animals to support our life-changing initiatives. Today, your donation will be matched by a generous donor.

Together, we can build a more sustainable and compassionate food system.
