The Black Vegetarian Society of Texas (BVStx) is a voluntary nonprofit membership that promotes vegetarianism and the inherent health benefits of a plant-based eating plan. Our members embrace vegetarianism because of health reasons, spiritual affiliations, and the environment of belief in non-violence. We realize we are what we eat and make a connection between preventive, holistic and traditional practices for total wellness.

Our Organization seeks to fill the gaps that exist in our communities, particularly in meeting and addressing the concerns of chronic and degenerative diseases. People of color are disproportionately affected by hypertension and diabetes.

BVStx serves as a clearinghouse for information, resources, and activities for our members and for those desiring to make the transition to a plant-based diet. Through a variety of exciting informative monthly events such as presentations, cooking classes and weekend getaways, we provide education and support for the vegetarian, almost vegetarian and the non-vegetarian alike. You do not have to be a full-fledged vegetarian to join BVStx or to attend BVStx events.

BVStx publishes a bi-monthly newsletter that spotlights a member-owned business, which allows us to share a part of our family with yours. In addition, we have a speaker’s bureau where our speakers address a variety of health-related subjects.

Special programs: Vegetarianism 101 addresses the issues and concerns of vegetarianism in the first two classes. The following two classes concentrate on veganism, food combining and other information.

As with most nonprofit groups, volunteers are the catalyst of the group and are always needed. BVStx members/volunteers are ultimately responsible for the image and the success of The Black Vegetarian Society of Texas. We invite you and encourage you to get involved! Volunteering works! Without you, we cannot continue to grow and develop new, exciting programs.
