Our May Charity of the Month: Animal Equality

Since 2006, Animal Equality has worked tirelessly with society, governments, and companies to end cruelty to farmed animals and achieve its vision of a world in which all animals are respected and protected. Our charity of the month, now present in eight countries, is heralded as one of the leading farmed animal protection organizations in the world and shines a spotlight on the realities of animal agriculture through undercover investigations, corporate campaigns, political outreach, and the development of large-scale education programs.

For each almond creme cupcake (vanilla cake topped with almond frosting + toasted almonds) sold this month at Sticky Fingers, we’ll donate $1 to support Animal Equality. Eat cupcakes for charity!

Latin American Youth Center: Our April Charity of the Month

The Latin American Youth Center’s mission is to empower a diverse population of DC-area youth to achieve a successful transition to adulthood through multi-cultural, comprehensive, and innovative programs and opportunities in academics, arts and recreation, job readiness, safe housing, and health and wellness, addressing their social, academic, and career needs. Our charity of the month’s Food & Nutrition Program enables youth to get their hands dirty in the kitchen and the garden. In its Teen Center kitchen, youth hone their cooking skills, learn how to make healthy choices about what they eat, and engage with broader food justice issues, and, in its raised bed garden, directly experience how food grows.

For each almond creme cupcake (vanilla cake topped with almond frosting + toasted almonds) sold this month at Sticky Fingers, we’ll donate $1 to support Latin American Youth Center. Eat cupcakes for charity!

Rescue + Freedom Project: Our February Charity of the Month

Founded in 2010, Rescue + Freedom Project is a unique program run by the Animal Rescue, Media, and Education charity. R+FP negotiates with laboratories around the world to secure the release of dogs and other animals, giving them a chance at a normal home life after everything they have endured for vanity and scientific curiosity. Our charity of the month uses the rescues to draw public attention to the plight of animals languishing in labs and to promote cruelty-free lifestyle choices everyone can make. The beagles act as ambassadors who give faces to animal testing victims and remind the public that these animals are not just furry test-tubes, but dogs no different from their pets.

For each almond creme cupcake (vanilla cake topped with almond frosting + toasted almonds) sold this month at Sticky Fingers, we’ll donate $1 to support Rescue + Freedom Project (RFP). Eat cupcakes for charity!
