What a busy summer we've had! We can't believe Fall is upon us! This week our Founder, Christina Owens, is participating in a cycling event called The Foster 100. It is hosted by a nonprofit that supports providing service animals for Veterans. There isn't a better way to honor those that have served, especially during this 20th anniversary of 9/11. Stay active, stay healthy!

Things have been moving right along with gardens and CSA boxes. Also, Going Vegan has been supporting our local community by sponsoring the Mahoning Valley Rescue Mission in their .5K that was held recently. It was great to be a part of such a wonderful event! We are always seeking new ways to support the community and get people Going Vegan. Please let us know what we can do to help!!

Because of the turbulent times we are living in, Going Vegan has decided to make having access to fresh fruits and vegetables a priority. We are currently looking for local farmers/producers to assist, in order to eliminate food waste and help those that are in need of healthy food options.

Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals of advocating for, and teaching about a vegan lifestyle. Your generous donations will fund our mission. -Thank you!!!

Our History
About Going Vegan
About Going Vegan
The founder of Going Vegan, Christina Owens, started living a vegan lifestyle back in 2010, when her youngest son was diagnosed with a dairy allergy. Being a vegetarian already, going vegan made sense and seemed easy enough to do. However, once she got started, she quickly realized that it was not going to be a simple transition.

The founder of Going Vegan, Christina Owens, started living a vegan lifestyle back in 2010, when her youngest son was diagnosed with a dairy allergy. Being a vegetarian already, going vegan made sense and seemed easy enough to do. However, once she got started, she quickly realized that it was not going to be a simple transition.
Food labels were lengthy, confusing, and dairy seemed to make its way into everything. Research, trial and error became a part of everyday living.
Fast forward to today, and there are definitely more vegan options to choose from than ever before. Yet still, making the right food choices can be confusing and overwhelming.
This is where Going Vegan can help. Through continuing studies and research, Going Vegan has found the foremost tips, tricks, up-to-date information and advice to help you succeed, no matter where you are on your vegan journey.
Seeing the need for energetic nonprofit work in this area, this organization was formed in 2020 to provide sensible vegan information, solutions and support.
