Gentle Thanksgiving 2024 a Success!

On November 16, 2024, NHARL hosted our 4th sold-out catered Gentle Thanksgiving event at the NH Audubon McLane Center in Concord!

The Guests!

It was inspiring to see familiar faces and new ones, all united by the shared purpose of protecting the rights of animals.

The Food!

Our good friends at The Green Beautiful Vegan Cafe served up another scrumptious, animal-free Thanksgiving feast — topped off with complimentary coffee and cookies!
