Everybody deserves to eat good food.

At Slow Food, we believe that good, clean, and fair food should be accessible to all. And we can help make that happen.

Each year, a few of our members combine efforts to make and serve dinner at St. Paul's Community Center This year, the date is March 31st and the menu is pasta, salad, bread, cookies and ice cream. Here's a message from Mary Weiss, event organizer:

March 31st is when we will make and serve supper at St. Paul's. If helping serve, please be there by 5:00.

This is what is needed:

Bread
Cookies 3 dozen (2)
Beverages
Ice cream 3 half gallons, different flavors (1-3)

* number of people needed to bring each food

Please let me know if you are able to cook and/or serve.
Thank you,

Who We Are and What We Do

Slow Food Maumee Valley is part of Slow Food USA and the global Slow Food network of over 150,000 members in more than 150 countries. Through our network, we link the pleasures of the table with a commitment to protect the community, culture, knowledge and environment that make this pleasure possible.

Our mission as an international grassroots membership organization is good, clean and fair food for all.
Good
Our food should be tasty, seasonal, local, fresh and wholesome.
Clean
Our food should nourish a healthful lifestyle and be produced in ways that preserve biodiversity, sustain the environment and ensure animal welfare – without harming human health.
Fair
Our food should be affordable by all, while respecting the dignity of labor from field to fork.
For All
Good, clean and fair food should be accessible to all and celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions and nations that reside in the USA.
Working together with members and supporters in our area, across the nation and around the world, we:
Care
We preserve and share local foods and food cultures. We defend and advocate policies that promote holistic alternatives to the industrial system. Through tastings, workshops and social opportunities, we explore and celebrate the Slow life.
Cultivate
We champion local, culturally significant heritage foods, customs and recipes – and bring these experiences into farms, markets, restaurants and homes. We teach the next generation how to grow, prepare and share food responsibly.
Connect
Conviviality is central to our mission. We are part of a global community, connecting people to the land and to each other through local projects, educational events, and shared meals. We become catalysts for change by sharing the joy of Slow Food and prioritizing wholesome living over convenience.
