Our current food system is unsustainable, oppressive and disproportionately impacts BIPOC individuals. In this crisis, many people wonder what they can do to help affect change. Slow Food is a driving force for change at the global, national, and local levels. When you become a member of Slow Food, you help rebuild the table for all of us.

For only $60.00 per year, you can become a member of Slow Food and help Slow Food USA’s initiatives while participating in our local Slow Food Chicago chapter. To join Slow Food today, visit Slow Food USA and select Chicago as your local chapter.

Being a membership-based organization means our success relies on the commitment and contributions of our members. Membership provides the fire and funds that fuel our movement: the more members we have, the more influence we have, and the more impact we can make worldwide.
