Taste! Central Florida Provides More Than 1.6 Million Meals for Kids

On Friday, August 28, food lovers and anti-hunger advocates came together for Taste! Central Florida presented by Edward Jones, one of the year’s most anticipated events. Now in its 37th year, the event featured top chefs, brewers, wine experts, and spirit vendors from the area. More than 2,000 guests enjoyed food, drinks, live music, and games at the Orlando World Center Marriott. The night was filled with great food and drinks, but most importantly, it raised over $400,000 to help provide healthy meals for kids in Central Florida who are facing hunger. With this support, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida can provide over 1.6 million meals to kids in the coming year.
