Please, if you're donating food please make sure you donate vegan friendly foods along with regular foods, although I'd prefer an all vegan food donation for everyone, but I realize it might be to selfish to ask that. Also if you're donating clothing and bedding try to be aware that there are those of us who are vegans wear and use items made of hemp, linen and canvas.
Thank You for your cooperation.
That's okay jbell, and thank you.
If there was a transparent finance committee, you could request some vegan items and have funds appropriated for your needs as a protestor. With over $300,000 collected in donations, you'd think they could help you out.

It's not wrong, no. And I'm glad you're a vegan (and I'm a conservative by the way). I'm moving more in that direction myself.
...however, beggers can't be choosers. So probably the best option would be to purchase any items you find aren't donated which you need.
Besides, where are items made of hemp found?? I can see linen, but hemp? Eh, I'm not much of a shopper anyways.

And? is it wrong that vegan's are recognized?
oh no, actually i meant to type that in a different thread...so strange that it ended up here. and i wouldn't have even known had i not received the notification of your reply. apologies, i'll delete my post! good luck!
I'm hungry and cold and I do not have a job. I am relying on the generous handouts from others here at OWS. I want to sit on my ass all day in a park and whine about selfishness and ask for specialized food and clothing......tooo damn funny!!!
With all the donations coming in I don't want vegans to be ignored, that's all.
again....tooooo damn funny!
