COK’s Volunteers in Action: Highlights from 2009

Compassion Over Killing’s work on behalf of farmed animals is only made possibly because of the kindness of our supporters—and the dedication of our volunteers! You’ve helped us accomplish so much throughout the year, reaching out to countless people with a message of compassion.  From metro stops to film screenings to festivals, together we’ve blanketed the D.C.-area with more than 30,000 leaflets and other materials explaining the benefits of veg eating, and we’ve served over 2,000 free vegan foods samples.  

Thank you so much for dedicating your time to helping us help animals. Here are a few highlights from 2009 from our D.C. Outreach Team!
