Building healthy community through plant-based food and connection.
A welcoming whole-food plant-based community co-led by Elizabeth and Deanna, rooted in shared meals, practical education, local gatherings, virtual connection, and healthier living.
Formerly known as Chapel Hill Plant-Based Nutrition Pod, this group continues with a fresh name, clear purpose, and the same heart for connection.
We are now Plant-Based Community | Chapel Hill & Beyond, a member of PCRM’s Building Healthy Community network. We also honor our roots as the group formerly known as Chapel Hill Plant-Based Nutrition Pod, part of the former PlantPure Nation Pod movement inspired by Kim and Nelson Campbell and the many local Pod members who helped make plant-based community possible.

We are vegan always, whole-food plant-based focused, and originally rooted in oil-free education. Some members still choose or need strict oil-free, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, or other considerations.
Thoughtful labeling helps everyone feel safe, included, and welcome at the table.
The mailing list is perfect for regular members, out-of-towners, virtual attendees, and anyone who wants recipes, reminders, announcements, and future event details.
Get updates about upcoming local, virtual, and special community gatherings.
Find ideas for easy, shareable, vegan, WFPB, and oil-free friendly dishes.
Grow alongside others through shared meals, conversations, and practical plant-based living.
