Slow Food DC is a volunteer-led, educational non-profit with the mission of creating community that supports Good, Clean, and Fair food for all.

As an all volunteer organization, we rely on your help to continue our work with local farmers, food and beverage businesses, schools, and food vulnerable communities.

Why donate to Slow Food DC? You'll be supporting:

🐌 Work with Washington, DC's school garden programs. (If you haven't been on our school garden bike tour, you're missing out on a DC highlight!)

🐌 The Snail of Approval program, recognizing local and regional food growers, makers and producers, restaurants, and bars that are committed to bringing good, clean, and fair food and beverages to our communities.

🐌 Advocacy for an equitable, just, and healthy local food system.

🐌 Inclusive events, volunteer activities, and partnerships promoting a deeper understanding of our food systems.

🐌 Preservation of the foods and culinary traditions of our region’s ethnically and culturally diverse populations through the Ark of Taste program.
