PARTICIPATION: $5 CASH AND Bring a RAW VEGAN dish to share! NO DISH $20

If you absolutely CANNOT bring food then you can bring $20 cash ($15 instead of a dish and $5 for event). We prefer you let us know this ahead of time if you can so we can give the $15 to one of our local chefs to create an additional dish. You can write it in the notes section.

GUIDELINES FOR Raw Vegan Potluck: Raw Vegan and Organic as possible dish to share with 10 to 12 people. PLAN TO SPEND $15 ON YOUR DISH. No honey, no Bragg's Amino Acids, no Nama Shoyu, please make sure it is GLUTEN-FREE and VEGAN. Bring a card with your name and ingredient list so people with food allergies know what is in your dish and who made it! Please bring your food in a cooler with ice to keep cold until lunch time, and appreciate if you have room in your cooler for others w/o coolers. Bring your own serving utensils. If no time to create a dish, then please purchase something raw vegan or bring $15 of ripe avocados, organic salad mix, fresh dates, organic nuts, etc. If bringing $15 of organic FRUIT, it MUST be organic and already cut up and ready to serve, and ideal if you bring by 11am for morning snack. Desserts and Durian welcome!!

PLEASE FOLLOW HOME SANITATION GUIDELINES WHEN PREPARING YOUR DISH
