Please Show Your Support for all the Good Work The Vegetarian Resource
Group Does Year-Round by Donating to VRG Today!
2016 has been a very productive year for The Vegetarian Resource Group.
Your support is greatly appreciated! You can donate directly to VRG at
www.vrg.org/donate http://www.vrg.org/donate
Here’s a sampling of some of our accomplishments and outreach:
- Nancy Berkoff’s /Vegan in Volume/ published by VRG has been
distributed to thousands of food service personnel in different
settings. This encourages chefs to serve more vegan food options in
universities, hospitals, employee cafeterias, nursing homes, and
other places. Nancy also developed vegan recipes for Our Daily Bread
in Baltimore, which serves over 700 meals per day to homeless and
low income individuals. About 10% requested veggie meals. VRG
interns prepared and donated 9 foodservice size trays of vegan food
using Nancy’s recipes.
- We continue to work with numerous High School and College interns in
our Baltimore office including three future Registered Dietitians
and a student visiting from Germany. VRG Nutrition Advisor Reed
Mangels, PhD, RD, mentors those interns who are interested in
pursuing a career in nutrition. VRG staff also works with students
that are majoring in English, Journalism, Business, and other
subjects. These students are the future of the vegan movement and we
should all be excited about what they will bring to the cause once
they graduate.
- The Vegetarian Resource Group assisted media (print, web, radio, tv,
etc.) including /Family Circle/ magazine for an article on children
who decide to go veggie; NPR member station KUT in Austin, TX about
the public’s increased interest in vegan diets and PBS 8 in Phoenix
Arizona about vegan options for Thanksgiving; /Consumer Report on
Health/ about reducing meat for health benefits; Dr. Don Radio Show
about veggie pregnancy and lactation; /On the Menu/, a radio
podcast, on the topics of why people go veggie and VRG poll
information; /Grocerant/ magazine about what vegans would like to
see in the prepared section of grocery stores; and /Baltimore
Business Journal/ about the history of The Vegetarian Resource Group.
- VRG has done numerous outreach booths including at the Annual
Meeting of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in Boston, MA;
GreenFest in Washington, DC; Natural Products Expo East in
Baltimore, MD; Taking Action for Animals in VA; Charlottesville and
Richmond, VA VegFests; Vegan SoulFest in Baltimore, MD; Albany
VegFest in NY; NH Dietetic Meeting in Concord, NH; Veggie Pride
Parade in NYC; New England VegFest in Worcester, MA; etc. VRG
Nutrition Advisor Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, spoke at state dietetic
meetings in NH, FL, and AZ and gave a webinar on ‘Vegetarian Diets
for Older Adults’ for members of the Healthy Aging Dietetic Practice
Group.
- The Vegetarian Resource Group provided vegan handouts free-of-charge
for outreach in a wide variety of locations including a box of
literature to be shared with a High School women’s basketball team
in California; 500 Save our Water Brochures for tabling at an Earth
Day event in Houston, TX; several hundred handouts to Animal
Advocates of Western New York for a local Health Expo; a thousand
brochures for leafletting in NYC; and hundreds of handouts for state
dietetic meetings in NH, WA-OR, and NE.
