June 12, 2025: SFEB Potluck “Getting Scrappy”
Time: 6:00 - 8pm
Location: West Berkeley (address to be shared upon RSVP)
Did you know that food scraps and food-soiled paper are the largest single item in our waste stream? These items make up approximately 35% of what we throw away in Alameda County. These numbers may shock you, but change starts with you, and small shifts in how we approach shopping for, preparing, storing, and eating food can make a big difference!
Our theme for June’s potluck is “Getting Scrappy”. Maybe it’s making veggie broth from frozen scraps, carrot top pesto, pickled watermelon rind, croutons from day-old bread - get creative with those items that might typically end up in the compost.
Join us for an evening of community connection and conversation over a shared potluck meal with special guest Jeannie Pham of StopWaste, a public agency reducing waste in Alameda County!
Please invite friends who may have never heard of Slow Food before, we'd love to meet them!
Confirmations will be sent out five days before the gathering and more details about location and dish preparations will be included. Full potluck guidelines here. NOTE: We will be outdoors, so please plan for the normal evening Bay area temps.
If you need to cancel, please do so at least 36 hours in advance of the gathering so we have time to find someone to take your place. This is a small event (20 people!) with limited seats, so every single one of you counts! (Of course, if you have an exposure to Covid or aren't feeling well, last minute cancellations are absolutely appropriate.)
