September is Membership Month at Slow Food and as such we look forward to welcoming new members and celebrating our returning members.
Thank you for continuing to be part of the Slow Food East End community! We love seeing you at our events and having you involved in everything we do. One way you can help us move closer to transforming our world and guaranteeing good, clean and fair food for all is by becoming a member. For $60 per year, you can help fuel our efforts here on the East End and strengthen a number of programs, campaigns and initiatives that are changing our world’s oppressive and unsustainable food systems.
We urge you to make the pledge to support our work year-round. This year, we are excited to announce our new Evergreen membership. Instead of a one-time membership payment, you can now pledge to pay $5, $10, $15 or $20 per month to make it easier and more convenient for you to support our work.
Slow Food USA’s membership rates are going to increase in January 2024 to better support organizational efforts in the current economic environment. Join now to preserve the current membership rate!
What does my membership pay for?
The Slow Food USA network of more than 80 local chapters cannot exist without support from our members! Here’s where your dollars go:
- Engagement with our earth and heritage plants through our Plant a Seed program, which gives hundreds of free growing kits to schools across the US
- Robust learning and growth with our national network around racial equity and justice through trainings, office hours, national book discussions and more
- Annual programs like the School Gardens initiative, which sustains gardening programs in dozens of local schools
- Support for the USA’s Ark of Taste, which identifies and preserves the stories and legacies of Indigenous and other important foods
- News and storytelling content that amplifies a diverse array of voices and ideas from across the Slow Food movement
- Administrative support for the complex needs of 80 volunteer-led chapters in the US, so that their initiatives and partnerships can thrive
- Maintaining a small but mighty team of Slow Food USA employees, who lead and support these local, national and international efforts
A small portion of your membership dues to Slow Food USA are shared directly with our East End chapter to benefit the programs that we offer locally on the East End like Flour Power and Edible School Gardens.
Let’s nourish our connections and connect our foodways together.
