Slow Food Chicago is 100% volunteer-run! We appreciate your interest in supporting the mission to achieve good, clean, and fair food for all.
Support an Event
We're always looking for support for our events, whether it's helping with promotion, taking photos, welcoming guests, and more! You can always expect to enjoy the event once your shift is over (which means good food!).
Volunteer at the preSERVE Garden
The preSERVE garden in North Lawndale was created in partnership with Slow Food Chicago, the North Lawndale Greening Committee, the Chicago Honey Co-Op, and NeighborSpace.
The garden relies entirely on volunteers. Consider lending a hand with:
Planting, weeding, and harvesting
Planning events at the garden or in the neighborhood
Writing grants and identifying additional sources of funding
Teach a Workshop
Have something you can teach the community? We are always looking for workshop teachers, hosts, and locations to promote the culture of local, sustainable food and preserve food traditions. Send your ideas and questions to slowfoodinchicago@gmail.com.
Other Opportunities
There are many other ways you can volunteer for Slow Food, including:
Supporting our PR and communications efforts
Helping with grant writing proposals
Assisting with web development, photography, and media
Got a skill? Chances are we need it! Email us to let us know.
