NJveg had many educational outreach events annually (23 in both 2024 and 2025)! At these events, NJveg answers questions and provides free literature on the benefits of a plant-based life. Come out for an hour, or the entire event. No experience is necessary. We particularly need help setting up (usually about 60-90 minutes before events) and packing up (to about 30 minutes after events).
The following is a listing of potential educational outreach venues for 2026. More will be added soon. We’ll register for these and additional events, pending enough volunteers for both setting up (opening) and packing up (closing). Please let us know if you’re interested in volunteering for any of these (and what times you’re available). If you know of potential venues for outreach, please let us know!

We can’t staff our tables without you, so please consider volunteering for one or more events. Help NJveg spread the word that going vegan saves animals, protects the environment, and improves your health – to potentially hundreds of people at each event! We’ll register for events pending enough volunteers – at least 3 for setting up and 3 for packing up. The number of volunteers still needed for each event is listed above. There aren’t many organizations that fill this role, so please consider helping out!
If you’re interested in joining NJveg’s outreach team, please contact us at NJveg.org@gmail.com or 609-557-7077 (text preferred). Unable to volunteer? Please consider a tax-deductible donation to help us pay for event fees (which can run up to $200), supplies, and literature (click the Donate button at NJveg.org). Thank you!
