Slow Food Santa Cruz is keeping busy in the community between events! To get involved, contact the project leaders listed below:Time for Lunch Campaign
SFSC is working to support the national campaign to improve school lunches by increasing funding. Our Eat-In on Labor Day 2009 brought politicians, school advocates, and the local food com
munity together for lunch. Check out the Slow Food USA website for details the project, and contact Jody (secretary@slowfoodsantacruz.com) if you’d like to get involved locally.
Santa Cruz Heritage Foods
Slow Food USA works to preserve American food traditions through the Ark of Taste and RAFT programs. We’re bringing these projects to Santa Cruz by identifying foods that are unique to this area, part of our local heritage, and/or in danger of being lost in this region. If you have information about foods that might fit into these projects, or if you’re interested in growing and/or processing foods of this nature, contact Allison (allison@slowfoodsantacruz.com).
Slow Branding
Slow Food is about connecting eaters with their local food producers. We’re looking for ways to help you make these connections. If you’re interested in helping, contact info@slowfoodsantacruz.com.
Donate
If you can’t give time, but you’d like to show your support for our work, Slow Food Santa Cruz accepts donations of any size. Contact treasurer@slowfoodsantacruz.com to help fund our projects.
