Everyone is welcome at NJveg events: vegan, vegetarian, or veg-curious! Our events are open to the public, except when noted as members only.
The following is a listing of our previous events from 2026, for reference.
Volunteer Work Day Dune Grass Planting – Monmouth County
Sunday January 11, 11am-1pm
Brick Beach 3, 440 NJ-35, Mantoloking, NJ 08738
Kick off the New Year by giving a little something back to our oceans and beaches (suggested by NJveg member Tom P)! NJveg will join the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce, Rooted In The Shore, and Surfrider Foundation (Jersey Shore Chapter) to get these seedlings in the sand! Parking lot GPS coordinates 40.009387, -74.057709.
Please dress warm and in layers! Socks and sneakers or boots should be fine. The grass, poles for holes, and gloves will be supplied, but if you have your own gardening gloves, please bring them.
Volunteer Work Day at The Troll House Sanctuary – Gloucester County
Saturday January 3, 1pm-4pm
Williamstown, NJ 08094
Join NJveg for a volunteer work day! We’ll be helping the vegan nonprofit The Troll House Sanctuary. We highly recommend bringing a water bottle, bug spray, sunblock, work gloves, work boots, and clothes that can get dirty. If you’d like to donate, you can do so at the sanctuary or online.
Space is limited, adults only. Please sign up only if you are serious about attending and plan to attend for the full time. If anything comes up and you need to cancel, let us know ASAP, so that we may fill your spot. We’ve had a problem with last minute cancellations – don’t be that person! The address (in Williamstown) will be provided privately to volunteers before the event.
