Join the Slow Food Movement

September is membership month

• Membership dollars fuel our 69 volunteer led chapters. Your membership helps our local Slow Food teams build connections and connect food ways across the continent.
• We are weavers. Slow Food USA is a driving force to connect the many hands that touch our food, and reject the industrialized segmentation of our food web.
• We are builders. Join us in fostering solidarity and cultivating relationships that help communities realize their food sovereignty goals.
• We are storytellers. We tell stories of food, people and places that inspire curiosity, compassion and collective action. 

Join us for a celebration

Slow Food is very proud of our ongoing support of CAST North Fork for their work in combatting food insecurity and developing programs to help our neighbors.

For the past three years, Slow Food has partnered with CAST through our Flower Power program to tackle food insecurity on the East End. We developed a healthy, shelf-stable bread recipe, trained bakers, provided starter kits, and mobilized home bakers to supply food pantries with nutritious, homemade breads. Our collaborative efforts have led to significant progress, and we’re excited to celebrate our achievements, share updates, and discuss future plans to continue addressing food insecurity and improving nutrition in our community.

In recognition of CAST’s accomplishments, SFEE will also be presenting CAST with a Snail of Approval award for their outstanding efforts in addressing food insecurity.

So much to celebrate and we hope that you all will join us at CAST in Southold on Wednesday September 18 at 5:30 pm.

We need to grow our membership to bring new ideas and more lived experiences to the table that we are building together, slowly but surely. We must achieve true food justice and racial equity in our network and our world.

Looking to get involved? I hope you consider reaching out to become part of our team! Our annual board elections are coming up around the end of the year. There are so many ways to get involved.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Maria McBride

President, Slow Food East East
