VSDC GreenRewards™ Discount Program

Your Vegetarian Society of DC membership brings you valuable discounts in the Washington metro area! Just read the offers below carefully and show your VSDC membership card to start saving money. These veg-friendly businesses welcome our members.

Please be sure to let participating businesses know if the VSDC GreenRewards™ program has motivated you to seek them out for the first time or enjoy their services more often. Tell your friends about restaurants, classes, and services you've enjoyed, and let them know that they can earn discounts by joining VSDC.

If you'd like to invite a veg-friendly business to join our program, or if you have a business that would benefit from visibility with nearly 900 people looking for veg food, classes, and related services, then read more about why and how to join. The enrollment forms to download are there too.
