Believing in a greener future for us.
The Buffalo Vegetarian Society (BVS) began soon after its founder became vegetarian upon learning about the cruel treatment of animals in factory farms.
After searching for weeks for a vegetarian group to meet others with similar interests, she soon realized there was a lack of community support for vegetarians in Western New York.
Believing that WNY would benefit by a vegetarian community, she started the Buffalo Vegetarian Meetup group on meetup.com, a social network that brings together people of similar interests. Soon many heard about our vegetarian group, and new people were joining every day.
Now three years later, we have made good progress in expanding our group to meet the needs of others. We changed our name to more closely reflect who we are, established a monthly vegetarian potluck dinner and even created our own website to serve as a resource for WNY.
We invite you to join us in our journey in making change in WNY and look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events. All of our events are open to non-vegetarians and vegetarians.
Hope to see you soon!
