Compassionate Cooks, formerly a project of the non-profit Veg News Network, is now a separate and for-profit company teaching cooking classes.

This vegetarian restaurant in Sunnyvale has closed.

Asian Rose in Santa Cruz has closed temporarily. The old space is scheduled for redevelopment, and they will be moving to Front Street and re-opening in the Fall.

Of course there’s always the main location (Malabar Cafe) if you’re getting cravings for Tempe LaLa.

Finally added SFO to the guide. There’s surprisingly a lot of options.

Last month, when Chuck Barritt of Cupertino heard we were trying to raise funds for our outreach & education efforts, he generously pledged to match all donations — up to $500. We are pleased to announce that 100% of the match has been raised!

Donations of all sizes — from $5 to $500 — were sent. A VEGGIE BIG THANKS to the following supporters for their donations (from before and after the match was announced).

Bay Area Vegetarians is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax-deductble. We are staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers. We have no rent or other overhead, so donations go directly to our outreach and education programs. As a free membership organization, we rely primarily on donations to fund our outreach & education programs.

Thank you to the wonderful plant-powered volunteer crew – Lizzy, Thea, Elena, Oli, Alex, Terry, and Gabe – who helped at our Veg Education & Outreach booth at Haight Ashbury Street Fair in San Francisco this past Sunday.

You can see photos of our outreach & education in the photo gallery

Our next outreach education event will be SF Pride, 6/24-6/25.

Come by and visit us and say hello!
