Holly's Hope hasn't added a story.
The Price of Participation:
When a festival becomes as large and importanat as Toronto Vegetarian
Association's long running, ever growing VEG FOOD
FEST, numbers grow. This year TVA anticpates over 60,000
people in attendance with more presentations, speakers and exhibitors
from across the globe then ever before. IT'S
EXCITING! It's also a race to get a table, a booth, A PLACE
among the important pioneers and newcomers of all things vegan.
HOLLY'S HOPE, ARK II and
DANIELLE SCIARA came together in the belief that
our presence, as small Toronto based organizations/individuals, whose
mandates are to help fund & support those in need, was essential.
We tried to be quick! To apply for subsidized small spaces! but we
were not quick enough. With only a single premium ($1499 + hst) booth
left, these 3 caring "groups" came together to share our
resources in order to be part of the compassionate revolution (VEG
FEST). THE TRUTH...We need YOUR help
to sponsor OUR space. Every small donation helps. (We
are people who volunteer our time & resources and give away
everything we earn to those in need). TVA has been very generous with
us and we are counting on other friends and strangers to join the
campaign to rent a booth for the small guys.
Who Are We?
HOLLY'S HOPE: for animals in need:
Holly's Hope is a registered small company in Ontario whose mandate is to produce events which raise funds for, and awareness of, animals in need. Holly's Hope inaugural event entitled RESCUE ME, was held in June 2012, raising funds for three animal welfare organizations. Since that time, Holly's Hope has produced the ANNUAL WALK FOR ONTARIO FARM SANCTUARIES (the third concluded this July), raising funds for 9 Farm sanctuaries in Ontario; RESCUE ME I & II (a large scale cabaret event) raising funds for sanctuaries and shelters in Ontario; HOLIDAY PHOTOS WITH SANTA (in its 3rd season), raising funds for TAS and IFAW; and many other small scale events & initiatives
Holly's Hope is administered and operated entirely on a voluntary basis. All proceeds directly benefit the animals. Holly's Hope is the namesake of Holly Berry, a big red doberman - i often say, "we rescued each other". Holly's Hope is her legacy. Her company. Her gift to those who are still with us.

A New Campaign for ARK II !
The launch of Burrito Project Toronto (BPT) is set for September! BPT involves direct grassroots action and face-to-face participation with members of our community who are underfed and/or underhoused. We understand that the food system is unjust and that this is not a long term solution. The Goal is to make and deliver vegan burritos and participate in existing food justice projects. ARK II welcomes interested people to participate in the Burrito Project and our political activities.

Danielle Sciara (The Art of Compassion):
When i look into the eyes of an animal
I do not see an animal
I see a living being.
I see a friend.
I feel a soul.
~ Anthony Douglas Williams
This single quote describes my work as an artist. Working with and living with animals my entire life, I have always loved them deeply....My art reflects what i see when i look into their eyes, and i hope that those who see my paintings will see what i see. (Danielle)
Danielle Sciara's artistic work reflects her love of animals and nature. "My inspiration comes not only from wild animals and nature, but from my beloved pets." Danielle volunteers and supports local Farm Sanctuaries and the work they do, as well as other animal rescues and charities by donating her work to fundraisers and charity events. The Art of Compassion includes original works, prints, note cards, custom animals portraits and more.
