What we’re about
San Francisco Vegan Society (SFVS) welcomes people wherever they are on the path to an all-plant, vegan diet and lifestyle. As of June 3, 2025, we are the organizer of this group.
We promote the adoption of a vegan lifestyle for ethical, healthy and sustainable living. Based in the historically progressive San Francisco Bay Area, we offer a community for people to meet, learn, exchange ideas and information, 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.
