Potluck Eat-in: get real food in schools!

Civic Center Plaza
San Francisco, CA


Slow Food SF is hosting a potluck Eat-In on September 7th to show support for the Time For Lunch Campaign and bring awareness of the situation affecting school and students. Eat Ins will be happening all over the country and we encourage everyone to attend or host their own. We're going to need everybody's support!

Please bring a dish to share + your own plate and utensils. This is a free event, but please RSVP so we have a head count.

Speakers include Senato Mark Leno and author Daphne Miller, MD (The Jungle Effect) and Monica Guerra, recent graduate of Balboa High School. We will also host a letter writing campaign, kids activities and have the Magnolia Photobooth. We hope to see all of you there.

We've realized that the most important thing we can do as a movement is reframe the way people think about food in school: not just tinkering with the way food is processed but making sure our children eat real food in school. Good food is a right, it tastes good, it's good for children, it's good for families, it's good for the economy, it's good for the planet, and it's good for America. Investing in child nutrition is an investment our future.
