Start off the new year with a challenge to yourself – can you go vegan for 31 days? We think you can with the help of Veganuary (an international organization providing support) and us, VegLife Des Moines (your local accountability partner).
Whether you’ve been thinking about it for your own health, the health of the planet or the well-being of animals, we support you and applaud your decision to take a leap with us this January. Sign up on the Veganuary site to get support from their team (via emails), but also sign up here to get access to local resources. We’ve got a fun month ahead of activities!
