For over three decades, Food Yoga International (FYI), formerly known as Food for Life Global has been tirelessly working to alleviate hunger and malnutrition around the world. Their commitment to providing free, plant-based meals to those in need knows no bounds. With over 8 billion meals served in 65 countries and an average of one million meals served daily, their impact is immeasurable. Their unswerving dedication to the cause and their record of being a first responder to some of the largest natural disasters in the modern era is a testament to their inspiring mission. Unlike many non-profits, FYI doesn’t merely fill empty bellies; it provides nourishment for the body, mind, and soul. Its holistic food philosophy, known as food yoga, encompasses nutritious plant-based meals, educational initiatives, emotional support, and the belief that food is the great communicator that can unite the world and empower individuals to break free from the cycle of poverty and hunger.

Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, established to organize, mobilize, and mentor animal advocates in college campuses, and support students to do effective, organized, and sustainable animal advocacy to transform their universities!

We do that through focusing on 3 areas: 1- Outreach: We ensure a strong presence of outreach events (such as Anonymous for the Voiceless or other tabling events) on campuses, to continuously find veg-curious/vegan students, or to make new vegans.
