VegSave deploys Mission-123  'Saving the Earth One Client at a Time':  advanced services exchanged for Sponsoree's ("Clients") voluntary self-transformation and commitment to personal growth, higher values and lifestyle improvements.  A 'big win' is Client's conversion to VegSave Ambassador, propagating values and practices to others.

VegSave Client Categories: 
'A' Clients received micro-loans, gifts, reimbursements, grants and unlimited VegRescuer services, including personal ''Transformation Manual.'

20+ 'B' Clients received VegSave Packages, specific services based on need and availability of financial and volunteer resources, including a VegSave Support Team when necessary.  Personalized packages contain bought or donated goods, foods and supplements, educational literature and media, special needs items, recycled phones, tablets or computers, Transformation Manual, etc.

'C' Clients are casual, sometimes anonymous recipients of VegSave goods or services.  Some are simply referred to social service providers, employers, benefactors.  For example, VegRescuer hands out healthy snacks at traffic intersections.

VegeSave Pledge: I renounce Addictive-Violent-Anti-social Behaviors; I seek a Healthy Lifestyle including plant-based Foods; I strive to be Calm, Compassionate, Constructive and Communicative

VegeSave Affirmation: I understand that a peaceful, healthy, compassionate plant-based diet may: counteract my addictive behaviors; support my physical & mental healing,  promote my inner-balance and personal growth; increase my self-esteem and emotional awareness.

VegSave Ambassador: In good faith I Will Exemplify and Promote VegSave Values

VegRescuer Blog:  Support those less fortunate according to the Law of Karma, the Samaritan Code and because we can!  Personally, a lifetime of injuries, setbacks and diagnoses render me thankful to help others in our system of social welfare and charity.  As a Mankind Project Elder I commit to helping 'one man at a time'.  As a V-Gong instructor 'one person at a time.'  As a Knight of Pythias handling extreme cases, I've reached the limits of 'in loco parentis' 'ego-sharing' 'thee before me."

Sponsoree Acknowledgment:  I understand that 'VegRescuer' is neither psychiatrist, social worker, attorney nor a professional life coach; his opinions about health, nutrition, compassion towards animals and ethical veganism are based on his personal beliefs and experiences; I am free to disagree with said opinions, and encouraged to make up my own decisions about my living conditions and social behaviors; any VegSave assistance or resources are provided solely at my request.

'VegCon' is a specialized program to care for and correct the effects of long-term incarceration.  Program was cancelled when the VegRescuer was attacked and severely-injured 2015 by a Client.

Donating to a charity using a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from an I.R.A.:  If you are age 70 or older, IRS rules require you to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) each year from your tax-deferred retirement accounts. This additional taxable income may push you into a higher tax bracket and may also reduce your eligibility for certain tax credits and deductions. To eliminate or reduce the impact of RMD income, charitably inclined investors may want to consider making a qualified charitable distribution. A qualified charitable distribution is a direct transfer of funds from an IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charity, such as Vegtastic Charities. Up to $100,000 in charitable contributions made this way can be excluded from taxable income. With passage of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015, the QCD provision is now a permanent part of the Internal Revenue Code. This means you can plan your charitable giving and begin reviewing your tax situation earlier each year. The contribution must be made directly from the IRA custodian to the charity, so speak with the institution where your IRA is held, concerning the proper forms and the proper deadlines. This is not personal tax or legal advice. Speak to your tax and legal advisor for specific information for your situation ~Fidelity Investments
