We are thrilled to be back at the Wicker Park Farmers Market for our 4th season! Join us with the kiddos for our Compassionate Children’s Programming every Sunday in the heart of the market. We have programming at 9am and 10am.
Each session features a new theme about animals, the environment, or kindness towards one another. During our sessions we read two stories, complete an art project, listen to music, have discussions, and eat yummy vegan snacks!
More questions? Feel free to email Vick at victoria@crueltyfreeyouandme.org.
