Our Public Outreach Committee focuses in three areas, but they all boil down to understanding the mission of Slow Food and then just getting out and talking to people:
Talk with businesses, farmers, etc., who might be interested in supporting the Slow Food Mission and who would help sponsor the organization. Help us find ways to recognize sponsors for various levels of sponsorship that would (a) provide them with recognition at their place of business, (b) provide them with recognition on our website and Facebook pages, and (c) get the Slow Food movement more "known" in our region.
Spread the Slow Food mission and values through presence at Farmers Market(s). Work with people who have booths (e.g., the Placerville Co-Op) to see if they will share their booth with Slow Food. Find people willing to volunteer time to man the table at the Market. Work with Membership/Marketing to ensure collateral is on hand to give out to people about the Chapter, the Mission, Events, etc.
Help us engage interest and feedback from our community through surveys or questionnaires. What are they looking for from Slow Food Gold Country? Are we meeting expectations? How can be better influence out community around Good, Clean, Fair food practices?

Mission Statement
Who We Are
Supporting the Sierra Foothills in the areas of El Dorado and Amador Counties, we are a chapter of Slow Food USA and part of the global Slow Food network of over 150,000 members in more than 150 countries. Through a vast volunteer network of local chapters, youth and food communities, 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 and in our own backyard.
Description
What We Do
Slow Food Gold Country supports the mission of Slow Food USA and Slow Food International in the Sierra Foothills (El Dorado and Amador Counties) as one of 170 local chapters and 40 campus chapters in the U.S. that coordinate local activities, projects and events. Working together with members and supporters across the nation, 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 develop leaders in communities who model joy and justice. 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 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.
