Becoming a member connects you to millions of people around the world who are working to build a food system that is good, clean, and fair for all. When you register, selecting Slow Food Hudson Valley as your local chapter helps strengthen this mission here at home, supporting our local programs, partnerships, and community work.

Your membership supports both local action and national initiatives led by Slow Food USA, including education, advocacy, and critical grant-making through the National Resilience Fund, which provides direct support to people and businesses making an impact in their communities.

At the local level, membership helps grow our work in the Hudson Valley and offers meaningful ways to stay engaged, including:

• Discounts on Slow Food Hudson Valley events

• Early access to new programs, projects, and trainings from Slow Food USA

• Opportunities to connect with a national network focused on racial equity, inclusion, and justice through trainings, discussions, and shared learning

• Participation in initiatives such as School Gardens, which sustain gardening programs in schools, and the Ark of Taste, which preserves the stories and legacies of Indigenous and endangered foods

• Members also receive news, storytelling, and resources that amplify diverse voices from across the Slow Food movement and help keep our shared values at the center of food culture.
