About us
San Francisco Vegan Society (SFVS) welcomes people wherever they are on the path to an all-plant, vegan diet and lifestyle. We promote the adoption of a vegan lifestyle for ethical, healthy and sustainable living, and offer a community for people to meet, learn, exchange ideas and interact with others interested in compassionate living for a better world. Together we can make this movement grow and encourage a way of life that is better for your health, better for the well-being of animals, better for the environment, and better for humanity.

COMMUNITY NOTES:
SFVS Community Agreements: We want everyone to have a great time at our events. The San Francisco Vegan Society Community Agreements is our simple way of making sure everyone feels respected, included and comfortable. It’s a shared promise to show up with kindness, listen well, and treat each other with care. Together, we can create a space where everyone belongs and thrives.
Group Organizer: As of June 3, 2025, SFVS became the organizer of this group. SFVS uses this Meetup group to share both Official SFVS Events and Community-Led Events. Only events that display the SFVS logo in the event image are SFVS-sponsored events. All other listings should be understood as community postings, not official SFVS programming. Community-led events are hosted by members or other organizations and are shared as a courtesy when they are related to veganism; they are not sponsored or endorsed by SFVS.
If you have questions about whether a specific event is SFVS-sponsored, please email [events@sfvs.org](mailto:events@sfvs.org) — we’re happy to clarify.

August SFVS Vegan Potluck in Golden Gate Park
Bunny Meadow, Golden Gate Park, Conservatory Drive West, San Francisco, CA, USSpecial note for the August potluck: Ghirardelli Card Shelter is very close to the Dahlia Dell which should be in full bloom the last week of August so be sure to take a quick stroll over to see the Dahlias before/during/after the potluck!
Come join us for another vegan potluck in Golden Gate Park!
As with previous potlucks, we'll be meeting in Ghirardelli Card Shelter next to Bunny Meadow (Ghirardelli Card Shelter is not findable on Meetup, which is why the location is set to Bunny Meadow). Kids and well-behaved pets are welcome!
Please bring a vegan dish to share. You do not have to be vegan to attend this event, but every dish should be 100% vegan -- no meat, no fish, no eggs, no dairy, no honey, no products derived from animals of any kind. If you are unable to bring any food please come join us anyway -- there is always plenty of food.
Please BRING your own bowl, spoon, fork, cloth napkin, serving spatula, etc.
This is a community potluck. Dishes are home-prepared without professional health inspection. SFVS accepts no responsibility for food safety. Attend and consume at your own risk. For more details on our event guidelines, see our Formal Complaint & Community Accountability Policy.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Please note that because Ghirardelli Card Shelter is not reservable there is a small chance that we will not be able to meet there. This has only happened once in over a year of potlucks. Our backup location is next to the 6th Avenue Skate Park at 363 John F Kennedy Dr, about a quarter mile to the west of Ghirardelli Card Shelter in Golden Gate Park. In the event of a change, this event will be updated with the new location.
Please feel to use the comment section to ask any questions or voice any concerns.
