Vegan Outreach组织向食无保障的社区派发30,000份纯素餐食

Through its new program Vegan Food Aid—made possible by an anonymous donor—the organization has been able to deliver plant-based food and groceries to people hit hardest by COVID-19.

由于一家匿名捐赠机构的无私奉献，该组织得以通过其“纯素食品援助”（Vegan Food Aid）新计划，将植物性食品和生活用品派发给遭受COVID-19（2019冠状病毒病）大流行最严重打击的人们。

Non-profit advocacy group Vegan Outreach has delivered 30,000 vegan meals and groceries to food insecure communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The deliveries were made through its new program Vegan Food Aid, which was funded by a donor foundation that wishes to remain anonymous.

非营利性的倡导组织“Vegan Outreach”（“纯素外展”）已经向受新冠病毒大流行影响的食无保障社区派发了30,000份纯素餐食和生活用品。这些食物和用品是通过该组织的“纯素食品援助”新计划进行派发的；一家希望保持匿名的捐赠基金会为该项新计划提供了资助。

“It’s been remarkable to see this program come together thanks to our incredible funder and the resilience of our employees, who have put all their energies into making a difference for those suffering from the pandemic,” Lena Ludwig, Executive Vice President at Vegan Outreach, said. “We’re in a position to continue our mission to end animal suffering and help get vegan food into the homes of those who need it most.”

“依靠我们卓越非凡的资助机构和坚韧不拔的员工，这项计划能够成功组织起来是很了不起的，他们全身心投入帮助饱受疫情之苦的人们渡过难关，”Vegan Outreach组织的执行副总裁莉娜·路德维希（Lena Ludwig）说道。“我们也能够继续履行我们终结动物苦难的使命，并协助将纯素食品送达最有需要的家庭。”

Through its Vegan Food Aid program, Vegan Outreach delivered meals and groceries to a number of organizations and direct communities, including farmworker families in Dixon, CA; Navajo Nation and the Peace and Justice Center in New Mexico; families at Black Women for Wellness in Los Angeles, CA; local nonprofits serving trans, migrant, and indigenous communities in Monterrey, Mexico; and farm workers in Iowa through a partnership with historic Latino civil-rights group League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)—which launched its new Boycott Meat campaign this week to bring awareness to the plight of meatpacking workers, approximately 100 of which have died thus far due to COVID-19.

Vegan Outreach组织通过其“纯素食品援助”计划，将纯素餐食和生活用品移交给另外一些组织或者直接派发到各个社区（家庭、个人），其中包括：加州迪克森市（Dixon）的农业工人家庭；新墨西哥州境内的纳瓦霍国（Navajo Nation）以及和平与正义中心（Peace and Justice Center）；加州洛杉矶市黑人女性健康协会（Black Women for Wellness）支持的家庭；服务于墨西哥蒙特雷市（Monterrey）的跨性别者、移民和原住民社区的当地非营利组织；Vegan Outreach组织与历史悠久的拉丁裔民权组织“拉丁裔美国公民团结联盟”（LULAC）合作帮助的爱荷华州农业工人。迄今已有大约100名屠宰场工人因感染新冠病毒死亡，故此该联盟在本周发起了其新的“联合抵制肉类”（Boycott Meat）运动，以促进人们了解关注肉类加工业工人的艰难困苦。

“The pandemic forced us to shift the majority of our outreach to effective online programs like 10 Weeks to Vegan, but it doesn’t provide work for as many people as possible,” Ludwig said. “The Vegan Food Aid project has given our organization a unique opportunity to build new bridges with sister movements and local businesses while retaining our staff.”

“此次疾病大流行（pandemic）迫使我们大部分的外展服务工作改为开展有效的在线计划，例如‘10周成为纯素食者’（10 Weeks to Vegan）计划，但却无法为尽可能多的人提供工作，”路德维希说道。“‘纯素食品援助’项目为我们的组织提供了一个非常难得的机会，让我们能够与其他姐妹运动组织和当地企业缔结新的纽带，并且同时积极留住我们的员工。”

Vegan Outreach plans to continue its new program throughout 2020 and potentially longer.

Vegan Outreach组织计划在整个2020年甚至更长时间里继续实施其新计划。
