Founded in 2008, Try Vegan PDX is a volunteer run 501c(3) based in Portland, Oregon. Our vision is to build and support an inclusive vegan community while advocating for compassion and non-violence towards all beings.  Try Vegan PDX offers education, resources, events, support, and activism opportunities. Our Vegan Guide to Portland is a resource featuring local businesses and nonprofits. Some of our most popular community building events have been Vegan Prom, VegQuest (a vegan scavenger hunt), and our annual Vegan Maker and Craft Fair. We champion for the animals, those interested in a compassionate lifestyle, and the larger vegan community. A vegan world will provide a thriving future for people, animals, and the planet.


The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different.
