Slow Food Lake Tahoe

Small monthly donations help build a resilient local food community, much like slow food nurtures a sustainable food system. Our “Slow Giving” campaign aks you to support Slow Food Lake Tahoe by committing to a small recurring donation. Whether it’s $5, $10, $20, $50 or more a month, the idea is to nurture long-term support to SFLT -- just like how sustainable food sourcing and food production slowly grows over time.

Prefer a one time donation instead? We love those too! Simply choose your path when choosing to support our future through a donation.

OUR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

Slow Food Lake Tahoe hosts a variety of community projects and events to bring our mission to fruition including Truckee's Food Bank Garden, Community Garden, Youth Education Days, Grow-Your-Own classes, Skill Share Workshops, Compost Collection, Salmon Buying Club, 
the Edible Garden Tour, and a Seed Library.   

As we gear up for next year, we are seeking your support in not only continuing our current programmings, but growing them for years to come. Below are a few programs that we look forward to expanding in the coming year.

YOUR DONATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Gardening can be an extremely affordable way to feed people. Gardens also help educate both adults and children about how to grow organic food and why it's important. We have the ardent hope that this garden will continue to be a place of community spirit and collaboration but, we can't do it without your support.  We appreciate you making a valuable difference in our community by donating to such an impactful cause!  Here are just some of the things your donation will fund:

• Growing & Giving from the Food Bank Garden to Sierra Community House's local hunger relief program
• Free Education Days in the Garden for school-age children
• Free Grow-Your-Own Classes
• Free & Low-Cost Skill-Share Workshops
