About the Tri-Valley Vegetarian Society
The Tri-Valley Vegetarian Society is an organization where Tri-Valley residents (Danville, San Ramon, Pleasanton, Dublin & Livermore) can come together and share delicious plant-based foods, learn new information, and offer encouragement and support for the vegetarian lifestyle. Participation is open to anyone and everyone practicing vegetarianism, veganism and/or a "Living Foods (Raw)" diet. Non-vegetarian family members and the "veg-curious" are also welcome to participate!
The goal of the Tri-Valley Vegetarian Society is to spread the word about vegetarianism and help empower people to make informed food choices that promote health and well-being, while lessening their environmental footprint and practicing compassion. Tri-Valley Vegetarian Society events are co-sponsored by the San Francisco Vegetarian Society. Please contact Lisa Williams if you are interested in volunteering and/or participating at a future event.
These events are co-sponsored by San Francisco Vegetarian Society and East Bay Eco-Health Network.
