The All-Vegan Indianapolis Philly is a unique offering from Black Leaf Vegan, featuring a special mozzarella vegan sauce, onions, and peppers, providing a healthy yet filling option for fairgoers that is soy-free and gluten-free. Owned by Derrick and Taria Slack, Black Leaf Vegan is a vendor at the State Fair that has received a Health First Indiana grant from the Marion County Health Department, totaling over $100,000, to support wellness programs and events. The grant will be used to fund cooking demonstrations and programs that promote health and wellness, feeding both the mind and body. “We believe wellness is important,” Slack said. “The grant allows us to tackle the mind, body, and soul through our FOOD program.” The FOOD program stands for Finding Opportunities to Overcome Obstacles to Development, aiming to address wellness challenges in Indiana. Black Leaf Vegan’s initiatives, supported by the grant, aim to enhance community wellness through innovative programs and events, fostering a space for healing and creativity. The On the Mic with Evelyn Rai is one event that will be held at Café 335 West 9th Street. Check it out on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, for live music, poetry, and discussions on health.
