About Us
The Three Rivers Vegan Society was founded in 2009 to provide resources and education about vegan living in the Greater Pittsburgh area. Through our website, events and other activities, we are dedicated to fostering a strong vegan community, and increasing the availability of vegan options in area businesses and restaurants. However, the organization is not just designed to serve the existing vegan community, but also to build bridges between vegans and non-vegans by promoting greater understanding of what a vegan lifestyle entails.
Three Rivers Vegan Society strives to educate the general public about the
exploitation and abuse of animals as part of the food, fashion and entertainment
industries. By increasing awareness of these atrocities, we hope to begin
to remove the social blinders that allow them to continue. At the same time,
we are committed to demonstrating that vegan living is not about deprivation,
but instead offers a wide array of delicious food and quality products that
are compassionate, ecologically sound and guilt-free.
