ABOUT HUMANITY FOR ANIMALS
Humanity for Animals is an all volunteer organization advocating veganism. We are comprised of activists addressing global issues at the local level to help animals in need. Visit our Campaigns page to find out more about our work.
We are a grassroots organization and from time to time we need funding for banners and
literature. We are self-funded and sale of our T-shirts helps cover our costs. We would like to sponsor more adoption events, spay/neuter clinics and vegan outreach events
