Posted by .

VEGWORCESTER-PIGSCANPLAYGUITARBECAUSETHEYAREAWESOME

VegWorcester is hosting its first ever benefit show to raise funds to help grow and continue our outreach in the community.  The event is being held this Friday March 22nd, 2013 at The Hotel Vernon – Shiproom in Kelly Sq (1 Millbury St. Worcester, MA) starting at 8pm.  Awesome music planned for the evening will be provided by  Eye Witness,  Joy Rachelle Murrieta, Hayley Sabella, Eric L’esperance, and Austin Troy. A tasty vegan bake sale is happening too – complete with cruelty-free cookies, cupcakes, breads and more! It is part of an event we take part in every year called The Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale.  Entrance is $6, and the event is 21+.

As you may already know, VegWorcester is a not-for-profit, community organization that advocates vegetarian living to the population of Central MA. We organize educational events around veganism, animal rights, and the environmental impact of meat production. We’re involved in a lot of projects and work year-round to build a community of compassion for animals. Some of our projects include distributing a guide to vegetarian dining in Worcester, outreach in local highschools and colleges,  free veg starter kit distribution throughout the city, organizing a monthly social meetup / buffet, and organizing The Worcester VegFest, now in its 4th year. Join us this Friday, or if you’re unable to make it but would like to support VegWorcester, check out our donation information here!
