Our Successes: 
Big Day of Giving raises over $1,400 to support Slow Food Sacramento

 

 

Thank you to all Slow Food supporters for your help!  

 

This Big Day of Giving, Slow Food Sacramento supporters raised $1,490 to support our work in the community. 

 

We are so grateful to every single person who donated, shared, and helped us get the word out about our cause. 

 

Because of these gracious donations, we will be able to further our mission by expanding school garden and culinary education and publishing a slow food children's book!

 

Thank you again!
