Come meet new friends or see old ones at the Northwest VEG Westside Potluck. You can come just to the potluck at 5:00 pm, the program which will start at 6:15 pm, or both.

After the potluck, we will be showing Transfarming Switzerland, a short, hopeful video with subtitles that follows Sarah Heiligtag, a woman from Switzerland helping transform animal farms into vegan farms and sanctuaries by working directly with farmers who seek a different relationship with animals.

For the potluck, please bring a plant-based (no meat, eggs, dairy, honey, or other animal products) main dish, salad, or dessert; a card listing its ingredients; and plates and utensils for your use. You can make the dish yourself or bring store-bought food. If you come alone, figure the amount to serve 4-6; increase the amount 4 servings for each additional person in your party/family. Northwest VEG potlucks are alcohol-free events.

Selina Blaser now grows chickpeas on her farm to make hummus. Her cows still remain on the farm, but as permanent residents instead of being raised for slaughter.
