What we’re about
Welcome to River City Vegan Tribe, a Jacksonville-based community that’s redefining what it means to live compassionately. Whether you’re a lifelong vegan, plant-based curious, or simply looking for a welcoming space to connect, we’re here to celebrate diversity, build meaningful connections, and inspire positive change—for ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
Our mission is to create a space where everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to grow. From shared meals at local vegan-friendly restaurants to potlucks in the park, we foster community through good food, open conversations, and mutual support. We believe in sustainability, ethical living, and creating a future that’s kinder to animals, people, and the planet.
This is a place for everyone. No matter who you are, how you identify, or where you’re at on your journey, you’re part of the Tribe. We embrace all identities, orientations, and backgrounds because we know that compassion begins with understanding—and that thriving communities are built on love, respect, and shared purpose.
Join us as we reimagine veganism as a force for connection and change. Together, we’re shaping a vibrant, inclusive space where new ideas flourish, friendships are formed, and every moment is a step toward a brighter, kinder world.
Every event is more than just a gathering—it’s a chance to come together, support each other, and build a community rooted in compassion and belonging. We can’t wait to meet you and share this journey with you.
