The Vegetarian Resource Group periodically has out of town interns. If you live near our office in Roland Park, and would like to offer free or inexpensive housing, please let us know and send details to [email protected]. We will be having at least one eight week intern this summer who needs housing.
Otarian, a vegetarian global fast casual restaurant located in Manhattan, New York, offers vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Their meals are free from animal derived processing aids, preservatives, colorings, artificial flavors, MSG, and GMO. They use all natural ingredients grown as locally as possible and pack their ingredients using sustainable materials.
Recently, they have decided to invite similar likeminded concepts/companies who are interested in renting a space about 8x10 located on a prime retail corner, in mid-town Manhattan. This opportunity is great exposure with minimum commitment.
There are two spaces available within the restaurant which will be rented to different similar minded concepts. Branding options can be discussed. Invitations to join Otarian will be valid until the end of March 2014; they are looking to start renting as soon as possible and hope to launch the venue by Spring 2014. They also have a commercial kitchen for rent in Long Island City Queens which is available to businesses who don't have their own kitchen.
Please call 212-470-7674 or e-mail [email protected] for more information.
If you would like to volunteer at any of these events, contact Nina at [email protected]. If you would like to donate towards our veggie outreach, donate at: [ http://www.vrg.org/donate ]
Donations can also be sent to The Vegetarian Resource Group, P.O. Box 1463, Baltimore, MD 21203. Or call: (410) 366-8343.

Held on the last Saturday every month at the Learning Center of Your Prescription for Health, 10210 S. Dolfield Rd. in Owings Mills, EarthSave presents a vegan potluck and presentation. They eat first, make announcements, vote and present awards for their favorite dishes, and then have a presentation. This month, on March 29th, EarthSave will be featuring a screening of the documentary, "Genetic Roulette - The Gamble of our Lives." This movie discusses a time when the US government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified crops into our environment and food supply; it was truly a gamble of unprecedented proportions. This award winning documentary provides compelling evidence to help explain the deteriorating health of Americans, especially among children. It features commentary from a wide range of eminent physicians, scientists, policy makers and activist, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.
Dinner guests may choose to either bring a dish without animal products (to serve 8) plus a $5 donation, pay $12 to enjoy dinner and a presentation; or pay $5 for presentation only. Let us know in advance, if possible, if you plan to pay for dinner rather than bring a dish. RSVP by calling 410-252-3043, or emailing [email protected].
Held at 7:00PM on the second Tuesday of every month at varying locations, The Baltimore Whole Food Plant-Based Nutrition Meet-Up meets to discuss some of the current topics and issues in whole-food plant-based nutrition.
