We have participated in the Meatless Monday program for the last three years and are currently working on a marketing campaign to educate our customers more on the benefits of a plant based diet. The latter part of last year we hosted an event with over 100 guest from other college dining programs and offered a plant based breakfast, lunch and snacks. In addition, we participate in a CSA program through Lancaster Farms. The program is run out of St. Mary’s hall and is available to anyone in the Villanova community.
