What we’re about
We're building a supportive community for vegan, vegetarian, and veg-curious folks in the Alamo City. If you're moving toward a more healthful, sustainable, and compassionate way of eating -- or if you simply wonder why kale has been getting such good press lately -- you're welcome to join us.
This group is designed to be active and inclusive, offering events to suit a wide range of schedules and interests. We hatched our plans for vegan world domination over plates of local, organic food at Vegeria, and we'll continue to meet there for brunch on the 1st Saturday of each month. With San Antonio's own chapter of Vegan Drinks, we'll imbibe and converse at a different location each month, always on the 3rd Tuesday. If you can't wait to share your latest culinary concoction (or try someone else's), you can join us for our monthly vegan potluck.
Other items on our bucket list: movie nights, book discussions, opportunities for volunteer work and activism, field trips to veg-friendly restaurants and events outside the city, and anything else our wonderful members suggest.
We're a new group, and although both of your co-organizers hold strong opinions on any and every subject, you can trust that we'll respond to your concerns and make use of your suggestions.
We think that what we were told as children is still true: People who eat their veggies grow up strong and smart. We're excited to meet all of San Antonio's awesome vegetable eaters!

See all- Belated Celebration PotluckBode Community Center, San Antonio, TX
This potluck has been discussed, tentatively scheduled, and indefinitely postponed at least three times, and we are so happy to finally have it on the calendar! You may know how this story goes. The house was messy and needed some work, the dogs were getting older and behaving oddly, work was busy or frustrating (sometimes both!), and the state of the world demanded our attention. Although none of this has been resolved, we decided to host anyway, and we hope you'll choose to attend.
Inspired by Russell's determination to host a 100th birthday party for our 1924 bungalow, this gathering will be a belated celebration for any special occasion you may have overlooked in the past year. Did you miss Valentine's Day, neglect the Winter Solstice, or spend Thanksgiving with family members who don't appreciate Tofurkey? Is there an amazing outfit, accessory, or decoration at the back of your closet just waiting for the right event? Consider this your invitation for a holiday re-do/happy un-birthday bash, featuring delicious plant-based food and supportive friends to celebrate alongside you.
What to Bring:
- Vegan food or drinks for a special occasion of your choice. As the event approaches, please see the list of potluck contributions in the comments section below.
- An ingredient card (or ingredient list on packaging), to allow guests with allergies to eat safely.
- To cut down on waste, please bring your own reusable dishes, cup, and utensils. We'll have extras available to borrow as well.
- Feel free to bring a favorite decoration to add to our holiday mash-up.
