Society of PEACE will be holding a very special event on Sunday, January 24th in Houston! Due to the disaster in Haiti just last week, our first event of the New Year will be a fundraiser -- both for humanitarian aid and animal rescue. Next Sunday, January 24 from Noon - 4:00 PM, we'll be holding a VEGAN BAKE SALE FOR HAITI RELIEF. Mango's Vegetarian Cafe has graciously offered their venue to us during Sunday brunch hours! We'll also have live music from local bands and musicians like The Blue Notes, Rory Jagdeo, The Coalition Band, and Barefoot The Indian. Donated vegan baked goods are being provided by our friends at Sinfull Bakery and Radical Eats, as well as our wonderful volunteers and members!
Our Society of PEACE Volunteer Team is moving quickly to organize a successful bake sale on short notice and need your help and support! All proceeds will go equally to two organizations run almost entirely by volunteers: Food For Life Global Relief, which is already on the ground to begin feeding vegan meals, and the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH), led in the US by Kinship Circle's Disaster Aid Network, in coalition with the WSPA & IFAW.
If you are interested in donating vegan baked goods for this event, we'd love to hear from you! Please contact Society of PEACE Secretary Stacey Halsch.
