Donations
When possible, we love to donate to causes that support our mission of bringing about a more lefty, healthy, compassionate world. Here's a list of places we've donated chocolates to in the past:
- Alternatives to Marriage Project
- The Birth Attendants/Prison Doula Project
- Catskill Animal Sanctuary
- C.A.R.E (Community Animal Rescue Effort, Evanston, IL)
- Crafters for Critters (Greyhound rescue)
- Farm Sanctuary
- Feministing.com
- For the Animals Sanctuary
- Bakesales for Haiti
- High Meadow School
- The James Tiptree, Jr. award at Wiscon, a feminist science fiction convention
- Miles of Hope breast cancer prevention awareness
- The Nation magazine
- New Paltz Elting Memorial Library
- New Paltz Green Party
- Rocket Dog Rescue
- Rosendale Street Festival
- RUPCO, Rural Ulster Preservation Company
- WAMC Northeast Public Radio
- Wild Earth
- Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary
- Planned Parenthood of the Mid-Hudson Valley
(Just FYI, we will never donate to PETA because we don't like how they use women's bodies. We believe in the Sexual Politics of Meat!)
If you'd like to request a chocolatey donation:
- Please know that we only donate to liberal (preferably radical), feminist, animal rights, and/or environmental groups.
- Though we'd love to donate lots more than we are able to, in order to stay in business we have a set number of donations we do every quarter, and if we've passed our quota for this quarter we will be unable to donate to your group for a few months.
- We don't donate truffles because they are so incredibly labor intensive, and prefer to donate boxes of Vandana Shivas, Vulvas (when appropriate!), Peanut Butter Cups, and Peppermint Patties (the Pyramids and Christine de Pizans are too perishable).
Please send an email to chef@lagustasluscious.com to request a donation.
