Slow Food East End, which promotes local food producers and artisans, announced this week that it will donate $15,000 to the region’s food pantries, and offer grants of $500 to $1,000 to farmers, seafood harvesters, and other food providers who have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The group is also donating $1,000 to restaurants, food stores, and farms that have earned its Snail of Approval award for their commitment to producing good, healthy, local food in environmentally-friendly ways.
