About us
The purpose of The Very Vegan Society is to provide education and support to those who are vegan or who want to become vegan. As interest in veganism grows in Winston Salem and the country, we look forward to continuing to educate and support vegans in their quest for information.
Our meetings are open to anyone who is interested in veganism, whether you have been a vegan for years or are just starting out. You do not need to be a member to attend our meetings. For any potluck we may host, we ask that you bring a vegan dish (no meat, dairy or eggs) to serve 8. Please bring a copy of your recipe to share. We request that you bring your own eating utensils, plates, and cups.
The Very Vegan Society of Winston Salem (formerly The Vegetarian Society of Winston Salem) was founded in 1990 by Anne and Wes Weaver. They were inspired to start their own vegan group after attending Summerfest (by the North American Vegetarian Society) and listening to the wonderful speakers in attendance.
This group is organized by Debbie Leonard, Colleen Houck, and Lorena Stephenson.
