🌿 About Our Community
Welcome to Raw Vegans of Tampa Bay — a welcoming and friendly community where people gather to enjoy fresh plant-based foods, share ideas, and build real connections.
Whether you’re fully raw vegan, plant-based curious, or simply looking for healthier inspiration and supportive friendships, you’re welcome here. We host relaxed potlucks, social gatherings, and learning events across Tampa Bay where everyone can contribute, learn, and feel at home while exploring the joy of living foods together and building meaningful relationships.




🌱 Everyone Is Welcome
Our community includes longtime plant-based eaters, experienced raw chefs, and people just beginning to explore living foods. Questions, curiosity, and learning are always welcomed — never judged.
🥗 RAW Potlucks & Fruitlucks and more
At the Tampa monthly RAW potluck, guests are invited to bring a plant-based, uncooked dish to share with 10 people. Foods may be dehydrated or gently warmed, as long as they remain below 115°F to preserve freshness and nutrients.
Simple fruit or green salads are always welcome, and creative dishes are happily enjoyed too.
Regular Outdoor Fruitlucks at parks throughout Tampa Bay provide another opportunity to try different fruits and continue to grow. Simply Bring Fruit and a smile.
🤝 Real Community, Real Connection
RVTB is about more than food. We gather to build friendships, support healthy lifestyle choices, and create a space where people feel encouraged and connected.
Bulk shopping at produce depots, gatherings at Farmers Markets, Restaurants, and even farm tours and fruit festivals are all things this wonderful group of friends enjoy.
Our relationships continue on our APP with daily conversations, support, and recipe sharing.
💚 Supporting the Community
There are no dues or membership fees to join RVTB. However, events and outreach do have costs. A suggested $5 monthly donation helps cover compostable dinnerware, community tools, website hosting, and outreach efforts.
Your support helps keep this community growing — thank you!
