Our mission​

​

Santa Cruz VegFest is dedicated to bringing awareness to the benefits of a vegan lifestyle and helping support people in their transition toward making healthier, more sustainable, and compassionate choices.

 

Santa Cruz VegFest is under the umbrella of Vegan Outreach, a 501c3 non-profit organization.

 

Our purpose is to:

​

• Build, support, and maintain an inclusive community that welcomes all

• Create engaging community events that are low-cost or free

• Connect and network in the larger community; solidarity needs to extend across causes and organizations in order to truly bring about a more just and sustainable world

• Provide vegan and plant-based education and outreach

• Provide expertise and serve as a resource to the community on vegan and plant-based issues

• Model a responsible, effective, and transparent organization

• Create positive change and make the world a better place

​
