Featured Volunteer
You couldn't handpick a better mother-daughter team to champion the cause for animal rights than Brenda Burchfield and Melissa Maaske -- pictured above doing vegan outreach at the "Turkey Day 5K" on Thanksgiving. ARC is lucky to have this dynamic duo on our side. Way to keep it in the family!
Brenda has been an extremely active volunteer with ARC and was recently elected to the ARC Board of Directors. Among other things, she's been a familiar face at the Petland demonstrations, offered a helping hand at the Gopher tailgating food sampling events, and done lots of vegan outreach. A true people person, Brenda is passionate about helping others learn about a plant-based diet. Being diabetic, she has a unique perspective on going vegan and is more than happy to share her experience with others.
