VANCOUVER, November 24, 2023 – British Columbians can enjoy great deals on plant-based pizzas while helping animals this Tuesday, November 28th. In support of Giving Tuesday, Panago Pizza locations across B.C. will be offering large plant-based pizzas for just $15 with the code PLANT15. $1 from each purchase will be donated to the Vancouver Humane Society (VHS) and the Happy Herd Farm Sanctuary.

Each dollar donated will support vital work for animals at both local animal organizations.
“We are so grateful for Panago’s continued partnership and the generosity of each person who supports Giving Tuesday,” said VHS Communications Director Chantelle Archambault. “Your support saves the lives of animals and helps to make our community a kinder and more humane place for all species throughout the year.”
Funds support a loving forever home for more than 65 animals at the Happy Herd. This Aldergrove-based sanctuary provides a safe haven for animals rescued from the farming industry, like Noodles, who was taken in after being rejected by his mother. Born with a neurological condition that affects his coordination and appetite, Noodles is now thriving among his animal friends of all kinds at the Happy Herd.

Donated dollars also support vital program and advocacy work at the Vancouver Humane Society, including covering life-saving veterinary care for beloved pets like Tommy, and ensuring they can return to their caring guardians rather than being surrendered to the overburdened shelter and rescue system.

Panago offers 5 plant-based pizza recipes and continues to grow their plant-based choices as part of their long-term commitment to sustainability. Visit panago.com/our-values to learn more.
Members of the community can also donate directly to the VHS and The Happy Herd at vancouverhumane.ca. Panago is matching donations made to the Giving Tuesday campaign up to $2,000, and other generous local partners are matching an additional $6,000 in donations! This means that each gift makes double the difference to help animals.
