Join us for our monthly Plant Powered Peoria Potluck
Plant Powered Peoria is a chapter of the Building Healthy Communities program through the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Building Healthy Communities is a global grassroots movement that brings people together to reimagine a healthier world.
Launched nearly a decade ago, the initiative was born from a powerful call to action in the award-winning documentary PlantPure Nation—a spark that ignited a movement for change.
Now led by the Physicians Committee, Building Healthy Communities empowers local leaders to foster strong community connections, support plant-based lifestyles, and provide educational programming that makes a lasting impact.
Plant Powered Peoria meets the last Sunday of every month (January - October) from 11:30-1:30 at the Life Together Center in Peoria, IL (with the exception of a few special offsite events). During our potlucks we follow the gold standard of nutrition leaving the animal products, animal byproducts, highly processed foods, and added oils off our plates.
For questions, please email plantpoweredpeoria@gmail.com

It's our first Plant Powered Peoria CAMPOUT!!!!
June 27th-29th
That's right! We are taking over Clinton Lake Campground and YOU should join us!
From June 27th- June 29th, come join us at the beautiful Clinton Lake Campground. Many of us have already reserved our campsites and are looking forward to the adventure ahead. Clinton Lake offers ample hiking trails, a beach area, and most importantly a quite tranquil weekend away from all the noise of our busy lives. We will do one potluck style meal during our event but strongly encourage all attendees to focus on healthful whole food plant-based options during the entire weekend. Clinton Lake is a cooling source for the Clinton Nuclear Generating Station and the water is wonderfully warm! We will be bringing our kayaks and paddle boards and encourage you to do the same if you have either or. If not, that's okay but you'll definitely want to pack swimwear and take advantage of the calm water. 🙂
