The 
Red Fern is bringing their amazing food to VegFest!
This vegan restaurant at Park and Oxford was founded with health, ethics, environment and social consciousness in mind. The majority of their food, including many gluten-free offerings, is prepared from scratch in-house using locally-sourced or organic ingredients whenever possible. They also offer takeout, wholesale baked goods and catering.
They will be serving BBQ Tempeh Ribs Compost Plates (gluten-free) & gluten-free/vegan pastries (cookies, brownies, etc). They’ll have takeout containers, so eat there at the festival, or take it home for later.
They’ll have a limited number of free samples of mini brownies, so get to their booth early!

Monroe County Votes for Animals
Monroe County Votes for Animals is a grassroots, nonpartisan, unaffiliated and all-volunteer organization dedicated to promoting laws that are beneficial to animals.
They lead a voting bloc (an organized group of voters who care about a particular issue) of Monroe County, N.Y. residents who care about animals and would like to hear their endorsements. They work to promote animal-friendly legislation and stop legislation that hurts animals. They currently focus on our local government: Monroe County, its towns, and the city of Rochester, N.Y.
SAVVY
, University of Rochester’s Student Association of Vegetarian and Vegan Youth, is coming to Rochester VegFest!
SAVVY was founded to help increase awareness, and provide support for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone who is interested in learning about how our dietary and lifestyle choices affect us and our environment. Using vegetarianism as an educational tool, SAVVY provides the encouragement and resources necessary to enable everyone to take an active role in making society ever better.
They sponsor educational events, host weekly meetings, make restaurant trips, cook together at vegetarian potlucks, and work with dining services to increase the availability and quality of vegetarian and vegan options on campus. Some of them enjoy activism while others are content in promoting a compassionate lifestyle by just being an example to their peers. Any level of involvement is welcome.
