Welcome to NJveg!

NJveg is an all-volunteer non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation, initially focusing on central New Jersey.

Our mission:

Advocacy: educating the public on the benefits of a plant-based diet via free literature, speakers, and more; and providing support to those in transition
Social: providing opportunities to volunteer, share meals, and join in other activities

NJveg’s next events (details on our Event Calendar):

Outreach: 3/14 – Lakewood; 3/21 – Lawrence
Restaurant Outings: 2/1 – Inn of the Hawke, Lambertville
Potlucks: 2/16 – Princeton
Vegan Buffet & Meeting: 3/1 – The Moth, Allentown NJ [Tickets]
Gourmet Vegan Dinners: 4/19, Lady and the Shallot, Trenton [Tickets]
Volunteer Work Days: TBD

We need volunteers to help with outreach and other events, social media, publicity, fundraising, and more. Much of this can be done from home. If you are interested in volunteering in any way, even if only for an hour a month or so, we’d love to have your help! We’re also looking to recruit some motivated volunteers to organize NJveg chapters in northern New Jersey. Please let us know if you’re interested in assisting.

Unable to volunteer? Please consider a tax-deductible donation to help us pay for event fees, supplies, and literature (click the Donate button below). A table at many of these events can cost up to $90 for a non-profit, so contributions are essential for us to participate. Thank you!

We’re looking for venues for educational outreach, hosting potlucks, speakers, and more. Know of a suitable location anywhere in central NJ – perhaps your community center or place of worship – that is free or low-cost for non-profits? Please let us know!
