Compassion for Animals, a Washington, DC-area animal advocacy group (www.compassion4animals.org) invites participation in the second annual Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (WVBS), 24 Apr–2 May: www.veganbakesale.org.

 

The idea is simple: Groups across the globe hold vegan bake sales during that period. Participating groups can do whatever they want with the proceeds. Compassion for Animals is coordinating global publicity for the event, and will leverage the events to get positive press about the bake sales and about the health, environmental, and ethical benefits of a plant-based diet.

 

Last year, a hundred groups on four continents participated, raising over US$25,000 for river cleanups, cancer patients, animal shelters, farm sanctuaries, food programs, and other worthy causes. They also introduced thousands of people to the deliciousness and diversity of vegan baked goods – and had a lot of fun! 2009 highlights are at
