Join me in helping animals!

The consciousness of my dogs, Kairo and Chester, is undeniable. I know the same is true for farm animals, and that's why I donate to CAA. 

I started by volunteering. I helped organize the 2021 Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge. This year, I joined the development committee and got my coworkers to volunteer alongside me helping with zero waste at Twin Cities Veg Fest.

I want to thank you for joining me and so many others in making gifts that enable these programs to happen.

This year, I decided to join CAA’s Circle of Care and give monthly, because I see just how effective CAA’s programs are. Please consider joining me as a monthly donor in any amount--your first gift will be matched 3 times, and every month you’ll be supporting work like this:

• Adding plant-based meals to school lunch menus: CAA now has a staff person in touch with the food service directors of more than 15 metro area school districts, helping them to add plant-based food to their cafeteria menus.
• Helping people take action on their care for animals: thanks to CAA’s work, 50% of Twin Cities Veg Fest attendees were non-vegan, and over 30% intended to reduce their consumption of animal products as a result of attending the festival.
• Showing people how good vegan food can be. Participation in the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge more than doubled this year, with diners casting over 1,000 votes, and making comments like, “It's so good! OMG I'm not even vegan and I'd eat this all the time if I could!“ about Muddy Tiger’s Vada Pav.

We stand at a critical crossroads. To keep expanding our impact for animals  we also need to expand our staffing. Your support will help us hire a full-time program manager and get 3,000 Minnesotans to take action on animal issues in 2023!

We’ve successfully gotten increased foundation support. Now we need increased support from donors like you and I.

Please join me in making a gift today! As part of Minnesota’s Give to the Max Day, your gift will not only get a 3x times match, it will also enter CAA to win a Golden Ticket of up to $10,000 to move our work for animals forward!

Thanks so much for being a CAA donor! Together, and with new chapters in Saint Cloud and Duluth, we make a difference for animals and people in the Twin Cities and beyond.

Sincerely,

Mitch Bermel

CAA Development Committee Member
