Join the [Veg Society of DC](vsdc.org) for our new **Whole Food Plant-Based SOS-Free Monthly** **Potluck**! We look forward to sharing a meal and conversation with those interested in or living a WFPB SOS-Free lifestyle.
**What is WFPB SOS-Free?** A whole-food plant-based SOS-free diet includes whole grains, tubers, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. It eliminates animal products, salt, oil, sugar (SOS), and processed foods. [For more information, check out this quick overview!](https://nutritionstudies.org/what-is-a-whole-food-plant-based-diet/)
**Please Bring:**
* Please bring a dish that serves 6 – 8 people per person attending
* A serving utensil
* A copy of the recipe and include your name on it so people can identify who made each dish.
* A drink for yourself or one to share. Nonalcoholic, please.
* You can also bring your reusable plate, cup, and utensils to reduce waste.
* An oven and microwave are available on-site, but space is limited, so it will be reserved for a quick reheat rather than cooking.
**What to Leave Out of Your Dish?**
**Please respect the diet and lifestyle choices of those attending by NOT bringing** **food containing** red meat, chicken, turkey, fish, seafood, eggs, cheese, butter, cream, yogurt, or other dairy products, honey or gelatin, or other animal products or highly processed foods, salt, oil, or sugar.
**Questions:** Please contact [wfpb@vsdc.org](mailto:wendy@vsdc.org) with questions about what to bring or if you want to help plan future WFPB events.
**Transportation:** The home is a short walk from the Friendship Heights Metro stop. On-street parking is available in the area.
**Weather:** In case of bad weather, be sure to check the comments on this for any updates from the organizers on the morning of the event.
**Sponsored By:** This event is sponsored by the Veg Society’s Whole Food Plant-Based Affinity Group. The affinity group offers those who want to engage with this lifestyle opportunities to connect, learn, and enjoy great food. The group gathers for potlucks, lunches at [Greenfare Organic Café](https://vsdc.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7775b08c060411688e929ff89&id=b27764da70&e=4227fca4bb), educational programs, and other outings. The WFPB Affinity Group is a part of PCRM’s [Building Healthy Communities Action Network](https://www.pcrm.org/buildinghealthycommunities).
**Our Appreciation:** We thank the [Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine](www.PCRM.org) for hosting this event at its facility and for its work promoting plant-based diets.
