RSVP for Slow Food UW Gala

press release: Slow Food UW is thrilled to be hosting our annual Spring Gala fundraiser virtually on Saturday, April 24, with the livestream starting at 6:30 pm!

The evening will include a series of cooking demonstrations to guide you through the four course meal kit and an opportunity to hear about Slow Food UW's work and impact in this unprecedented year of Covid-19.

One full ticket includes a four-course meal kit for two, two curated natural wine accompaniments, a virtual recipe book, and access to the virtual event.

The event benefits Slow Food UW's programs that address barriers to food access in the South Madison community. Since 2008, Slow Food UW has engaged with community-led efforts in promoting "good, clean, and fair" food through cooking, gardening, and other food-based programming. Our work emphasizes that food is a right for all by addressing barriers that include and surpass access and empower individuals to reclaim their relationship with food.
