HELP KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN & Veg & Go's Compassionate Mission

Dear Veg & Go Family

& Compassionate Souls,

From the moment we opened our doors on April 9th, 2021, amidst the corona virus pandemic. Being a small, new family business, our mission has been simple yet profound: to bring peace in every bite and to save all earthlings. Our family has poured our hearts and souls into creating, multiple award-winning, out-of-this-world plant-based fast food that not only satisfies cravings but also champions a more compassionate world. We've been 35+ years PLANT-BASED/VEGETARIAN and turned VEGAN 14 years ago. Just over a span of a couple years of opening our doors, we have served thousands of meals to the world. While saving countless beings, our voiceless animal friends, through each meal we've served. While making a difference & turning NON-VEGAN folks into believers that vegan food is delicious yet nutritious. Turning closed minds consciously awake & to be opened to a cruelty-free vegan lifestyle. It brings tears to our eyes & warms our heart when a huge carnivores say.."YOUR FOOD IS DELICIOUS & IT'S OUR FIRST TIME TRYING VEGAN FOOD, ARE YOU SURE IT'S VEGAN?..."

It's been an incredible journey, and we've been so touched by the outpouring of love and support. Many of you, vegans and non-vegans alike, have told us how much you adore our food and how you dream of seeing Veg & Go in every corner instead of McDonald's & other fast food chains alike. Hearing that truly fuels our passion. Each and everyone of you mean OUT OF THIS WORLD. Together we will shed light, compassion & love into this world. Many of you are family to us and bring positive vibes everywhere. All your beautiful faces & souls walking through our doors. We love you all.

Our Current Struggle

However, this year has presented us with unprecedented challenges. Our family & friends had their homes vanished in the inferno during the L.A FIRES. Witnessing with our own eyes, the devastating fires and the tragic hardship of the evacuatees. We couldn't stand by & watch. We did everything in our means to help. Being limited financially, we provided vegan food & essentials for everyone effected by the fires. We also provided food/essentials to fire fighters & first responders as they were in the front lines 24 hours a day. Some first responders stayed on site & didn't get to return home until fires were contained. While aiding our family & friends during the fires, THE RED CROSS mentioned to us they're in need of vegan food due to roughly 15% of the evacuatees are plant-based or had dietary restrictions. This got our engines turning rigorously once we heard...."they're in need of plant based options". We selflessly worked along side THE RED CROSS, Supreme Master Ching Hai Association, Animal Alliance Network, & PLANT BASED TREATY to provide plant-based options throughout this historic tragic fires. Fast forward to date, I.C.E RAIDS (embedded fear in the community, forced many folks to take shelter) & rising food costs due to tariffs. We've been struggling immensely to cover our operational costs, and frankly, it's been a constant battle to keep our heads above water. The thought of failing you, our incredible community, and most importantly, the animals we strive to protect, is heartbreaking. We started up Veg & Go out of our own pockets. Money we've saved from 9 years of blood, sweat & tears working for other vegan restaurants. No bank loans, capital parties, & no investors. Our own hard earn savings.

All we pray for is, you & the whole world to just donate just $1, just $1. It would make a OUT OF THIS WORLD CHANGE. Many more locations of VEG & GO and accessible vegan food across the globe. Just $1 dollar from everyone. We and animals couldn't thank you enough for contribution. Know that you made a difference and helped Veg & Go thrive.

Our Vision and Why We Need Your Help

We've seen too many beloved vegan establishments close their doors recently, and we are determined not to become another statistic. Our mission to help people go vegan and stay vegan with our delicious, accessible food is more critical than ever. Every meal we serve is a step towards a more sustainable and compassionate future for all. "PEACE IN EVERY BITE!"

We are so profoundly grateful for every single person who has supported us since day one. Now, more than ever, we need your help to keep our doors open and continue our vital mission. Your contribution, no matter how small(even $1), will directly impact our ability to keep serving up peace, inspiring change, and working towards a world where all earthlings are saved.

We love you all, and we truly believe that together, we can keep Veg & Go thriving.

With deepest gratitude,

The Veg & Go Family

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

(we create this fundraiser a few weeks ago, not wanting to take this path, but only made it public on Sunday August 10th 2025.)
