WHAT ARE YOU
THANKFUL FOR?
VEGANS.
Some Eugeneans proudly forgo the emblematic turkey for Thanksgiving, choosing instead
to partake in a peaceful celebration of all things vegan. The Vegan Thanksgiving Peaceful
Potluck, put on yearly by the Eugene Veg Education Network, is a chance to share holiday
goodies with the community and spare the lives of the animals that often get the short
end of the stick on Thanksgiving. Remember: It’s a potluck, so don’t crash the party with-
out contributing some delicious vegan food. For each member of your group, make sure
to bring a vegan dish (meaning 100-percent plant-based food) that serves six to eight
people. With music, friends and cruelty-free cuisine, it’s bound to be a good time.
The Vegan Thanksgiving Peaceful Potluck starts 3pm Sunday, Nov. 24, at St. Jude Catholic
Church, 4330 Willamette St. FREE with contribution of a vegan dish. — Amy Schneider
