Dear Supporter, Soggy tater tots. Mystery meat. Fast food and refined sugar.
This is too often the reality of our children's school lunches. America's schools need our help to bring about serious change. Your gift to Slow Food USA can make that happen.
On Labor Day, over 20,000 people in all 50 states gathered together at nearly 300 "Eat-ins" to show their support for real food in schools. The collective result has been impressive: we attracted the attention and appetites of state and federal policy-makers and received over 250 local and national media hits, and thousands of people signed on to Slow Food USA's Time for Lunch petition.
But our work has only begun in the fight to get real food in schools - we critically need your gift today to keep applying pressure and force our legislators to take notice.
And the best part: during the month of September only, your donation of any amount will make you a member of Slow Food USA. Here is why we need your support right now. Slow Food USA is working to directly impact national and local food policies. From the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act to the Farm Bill, we will be building alliances, bringing in key industry experts and heading to Washington to demand change.
Give more if you can and less if you can't. The point is -- we want you with us.
Our kids deserve more than a fast food lunch, and our communities need access to fresh, real food. Your support today will help make that happen. Thanks for your support and we look forward to your involvement!
With thanks, 
Josh Viertel
President, Slow Food USA |
