Well done Levon, after years of me using Happy Cow when travelling you have finally made me open an account just so I can reply to your comment. Vega Room have been giving their all, providing free food for people during this crisis. Not only are they feeding the usual vegan crowd but also the wider local population and internally displaced people. They are feeding people in their cafe, as well as delivering hot meals to places hosting multilple IDPs. As if that wasn't enough, they are also sending packages of food and ingredients to vegans across Ukraine who are cut off from their usual food supplies and struggling to get things like vegan proteins. All of this is becoming harder and harder because they do not have all their usual suppliers to call upon, as so many things have had to close down and supply chains have been disrupted. There are many ingredients that they simply cannot get hold of - the things that are super important that vegans have. How do I know this? I only learned of their existence a week ago due to a plea they put out for ingredients. I am based in the UK, where me and a few others have used money donated by Lush Cosmetics to organise purchasing these important vegan items from a Polish wholesaler, then Polish volunteers hired vans and drove the delivery into Ukraine. Marta and all of the VegaRoom team have shown immense gratitude to us, despite us doing such a small thing for them when they are doing so much all day, every day. Their only concern is to be of use to the vegan community, both in Lviv and across the country. I want everyone who reads these reviews on Happy Cow to know that VegaRoom are vegan heros. If my country ever became a war zone, I only hope I could emulate a fraction of what they have managed. To all at VegaRoom - much love to you, keep your spirits up and keep being the powerful people you are.
