YOUR DONATIONS HELP US GROW!
Give the gift of GOOD, CLEAN, and FAIR food for ALL in our Community!
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.
Our fundraising primarily goes to support the Food Bank Garden in the Truckee River Regional Park where we support food security and nutrition equality by growing organic and healthy food for our local hunger relief organization, Sierra Community House. In addition, we also encourage self-reliance by providing free high elevation gardening and sustainability education for our volunteers, visiting children's groups, business retreat teams, and the general public with our volunteer days and annual gardening classes.
As our garden and community education programs grow, so do our funding needs. We are hoping to raise enough money for the upcoming season so we can continue this valuable work. Our annual operating budget is around $50,000. Each year, we lean on our community to raise a portion of these funds and ensure that our programs are continually able to provide food for those in need and inspire our community through education.
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:
Slow Food Lake Tahoe's mission is to connect our community to the enjoyment of good, clean and fair food by inspiring a self-reliant food culture. We educate the community about growing, preparing and accessing local and sustainable food. Good, clean and fair food for all.
