The Boston Vegetarian Society (BVS) began in 1986. In 1998,[3] it was incorporated in Massachusetts as an educational non-profit. In July 1998,[1][2] it was granted 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by the IRS.
The BVS provides info on events and related organizations,[5] hosts the annual Boston Vegetarian Food Festival (BVFF), holds cooking classes, and promotes vegetarianism through mass transit advertising, outreach at fairs and festivals, and monthly free educational seminars which since their beginning have attracted some of the best-informed and most popular leaders and voices in the vegetarian and vegan movement.[4] BVS "seeks to make a better world for people, animals, and the earth through advancing a healthful vegetarian diet and a compassionate ethic." BVS provides education, encouragement, and community support for vegetarians and for anyone wishing to learn more about a healthy, environmentally friendly, and humane way of life.[6] According to several member's reports and earlier versions of the BVS website:[7]
Boston Vegetarian Society and its programs are run by an all-volunteer Board. Members do not have voting rights.
Since 1996, the Boston Vegetarian Society has annually hosted the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival (BVFF) in October or November.[8][9][10][11][12]
It was first held on May 5, 1996,[13][14] at the Boston Common.
The second BVFF, in October 1997, was held at Bunker Hill Community College. This combined as one combined event their indoor vegetarian food festival and the sense of the World Vegetarian Day event, since the combined event would be perpetually held around October or November.
Since 1998,[17][18] it has been held at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in the Roxbury Crossing section of Boston, across the street from Roxbury Community College and the Mosque for the Praising of Allah of the Islamic Society of Boston.
