We Want You!

Slow Food has been a part of the East End since Slow Food East End was founded in 2003 by a group of people from our local restaurants, farms, wineries and artisans. Since then, we have grown to be the largest chapter in the United States. (We will take a bow!) The success of the chapter has been due to committed and talented board members who have expanded our programs and, importantly, raised money and spread the word to accomplish that. We believe in a food web that is environmentally sustainable, healthy and delicious, and preserves cultural traditions.

We invite you to join us to help that continue. Ideally new board members would have skills, enthusiasms and interests to coincide with our needs. Here’s a list:

• Experience in planning events; familiar with local resources and venues for events on the North and South forks
• Public Relations experience including familiarity with local influencers, media, social media outreach and Constant Contact and WordPress
• Fundraising experience
• Experience with grant writing
• Good administrative skills. For example: organizing projects and data, writing skills, spreadsheet preparation and analysis
• Comfort with technology to assist us to streamline work, track activity and data etc…

Slow Food East End is a chapter of Slow Food USA.  We are an all-volunteer Chapter on the East End of Long Island — the North and South forks of Long Island from Riverhead to Montauk.

Here’s What We’ve Done

In conjunction with Josh Levine Memorial Foundation, SFEE has raised money to fund school gardens on the East End. We provide stipends for Master Farmers to get the gardens off the ground and maintain production, as well as providing mini grants to improve and help the gardens expand.
