Collaboration in Action
A Note from Jamie
Hi friends,
This month, I had the honor of sitting down with Kelly Nix, Executive Director of Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary, to talk about how vegan businesses and farm sanctuaries work together to create ripple effects of compassion. Watch for the video here on Instagram!
And don’t forget to join Fall Fest on Saturday, October 18th — a family-friendly day with tours, vendors, and the incredible residents at Luvin Arms, or attend one of our upcoming cruelty-free retreats in Utah and Colorado, info below!
