Tri-Cities Vegetarians & Friends was founded in February 2003 and officially disbanded in July 2007. The group was founded with the following mission statement: "We exist to support and encourage the appreciation of vegetarian cuisine in the Tri-Cities area of Washington state."

Tri-Cities Vegetarians & Friends hosted a public vegetarian potluck on the second Saturday of each month. Our other activities included cooking demonstrations, movie nights, guest speakers, restaurant outings, and community outreach. Check out our photo album below to get a glimpse of our group in action...
