Name: Vanessa Van Noy
What is your job?
Yoga Instructor
What social causes are most important to you? Being a dedicated yogi and vegan, compassion
is my passion, especially animal causes.
My husband and I have rescued all 7 of our pets (3 pit mixes and 4
cats). We are both active not only in
companion animal rescue but farm animal rescue as well.
What charities do you support – and how? I support some large national groups such as
PETA and Best Friends Animal Society.
However, I like to “put boots on the ground” for my local
community. I volunteer time at the local
Humane Society in Tinton Falls NJ and previously at the Catskill Animal
Sanctuary in Saugerties NY. I have
recently organized food drives for the local SPCA and County Food Bank. My most recent event is to benefit 180NJ
“Turning Lives Around”, an organization that houses and cares for victims of
domestic and sexual violence.
