SUMMARY:Veg Week Chicken Run Rescue Workday
DESCRIPTION:⚠️ Please note: RSVPs for this event must be completed on TicketBud\, not through this page. Reserve your spot here. \nThis event is part of Veg Week (September 19-27)! Haven’t taken the Veg Pledge yet? Sign up here to commit to a week of vegetarian or vegan eating and get access to discounts and support along the way. \nAs part of Veg Week\, join us for a meaningful and hands-on day at Chicken Run Rescue\, a sanctuary dedicated to giving these neglected\, abused birds a safe home and the respect all animals deserve. This special workday is a chance to support the rescue’s work while learning more about the resident birds and their stories. \nConnecting with these wonderful\, resilient animals is a grounding\, meaningful\, and impactful experience. While Chicken Run Rescue’s residents come from many varying backgrounds and have many different personalities\, their stories give us a chance to see how their stories and lives were shaped by human systems of egg farming\, meat farming\, cockfighting\, genetic manipulation\, and more. \nThroughout the day\, we’ll do light and moderate work around the rescue\, with breaks for snacks. Depending on needs at the time\, we may be helping clean and maintain the space\, preparing areas for the chickens\, and supporting daily animal care operations. Some chickens are comfortable being picked up\, and we may have the chance to take photos with our favorite birds! \nLooking for ways to help beyond the day? Fostering even one chicken can change a life\, and choosing a plant-based diet is a powerful way to help all animals. \nAs part of Veg Week — a time to reflect\, commit\, and recommit to compassionate choices — this event is open to everyone and a wonderful way to connect with other humans concerned about animal welfare\, connect with animals\, and help out in a concrete\, immediate way. \nRSVP HERE \nWhen: Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM\nWhere: Chicken Run Rescue\, Roseville\, MN (exact address provided prior to event) \nRSVP HERE \nWe hope to see you at the workday!

SUMMARY:Nicola's Meal Program Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, October 11 for a special fundraiser to help continue CAA’s shelter meal program into 2027. \nNicola\, the volunteer who leads the meal program\, is hosting this gathering as we work toward raising $2\,000—one-third of the funding needed to expand our shelter meal program to three shelters next year. \nDetails\nDate: Sunday\, October 11th\nTime: 12pm – 2:30pm\nLocation: Nicola’s Eden Prairie home\, RSVP to receive the address \nRSVP HERE \nAbout the event\n\nGet an update on the current meal program\, plans for the new year\, and how you can help make those plans a reality.\nConnect with supporters and shelter partners. (Optional get-to-know you bingo game!)\nHear from shelter volunteers about their experiences.\nEat a delicious\, plant-based lunch of hearty soups\, bread\, salad and cake baked by Chef Terri\, the chef at Simpsons\, who is donating the cake to support this program.\n\nMore about the meal program\nCAA’s plant-based meal program started in collaboration with Simpson Housing Services\, a shelter for people experiencing homelessness in Minneapolis.  Since January 2024\, our volunteers have provided over 3\,000 meals at Simpsons.  Currently\, we serve 3 lunches every month and the resident chef has designated all Friday lunchtimes to be completely plant-based (even when we’re not there to prepare them). \nIn March 2026\, we expanded our meal program to include a second shelter.  The Sojourner Project houses people victimized by domestic abuse.  Every month\, our volunteers prepare a healthy\, well-balanced\, crowd-pleasing dinner for them and the meals have received rave reviews! \nNext year\, we hope to expand our program to bring wholesome\, tasty food to a third shelter. We need to raise $6\,000 to serve meals at all three shelters. The more meals we cook\, the more time\, energy and funds the staff of Simpsons\, Sojourner and others can devote towards housing\, supporting and advocating for people in their time of need.  Help us continue our work into 2027 by joining us at this fundraiser on October 11th!! \nCan’t join us or want to chip in now? \nHelp Feed Hungry People Delicious Vegan Meals  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Writing for Animals Group
DESCRIPTION:Want to make a difference for animals? Join the monthly Writing for Animals group! \nThe aim of the group is to produce short writing that advocates for stronger protections for animals. \nThe facilitator will bring a brief presentation covering recent news around animal issues and plant-based food issues. If anyone brings an op-ed or other piece of short writing requests peer review\, we will provide peer review and suggestions for image sources (if needed) before it is submitted for publication. Otherwise we will move directly into quiet co-writing time\, where we will work on op-eds or other pieces of writing to send out for animals. \nIf you’re not sure what to write about\, you’ll be sure to get some ideas from the news review. If you’re still stuck\, we’ll also have a suggested short writing action to take\, like reaching out to a company or legislator about an ongoing animal issue. \nJoin us on Zoom! \nWriting for Animals meets monthly\, on the last Wednesday of every month\, at 6:30pm. \nQuestions? Reach out to abbey.feola@exploreveg.org.
