The event benefits Slow Food UW's programs that address barriers to food access in the South Madison community. Since 2008, Slow Food UW has engaged with community-led efforts in promoting "good, clean, and fair" food through cooking, gardening, and other food-based programming. Their work emphasizes that food is a right for all by addressing barriers that include and surpass access and empower individuals to reclaim their relationship with food.
