No Kid Hungry. That’s the rallying call of Share Our Strength, an organization put together to wipe out childhood hunger. And, with about 105,000 (13%) of children under 18 in Connecticut being food insecure, you can see how important this organization is. One of their major fundraisers across the country is called Taste of the Nation that feature local food, chefs, and drinks. And, we just so happen to be lucky enough to have a Taste of the Nation taking place at The Omni Hotel at Yale in New Haven on 5/22 from 6-9 for regular ticket holders ($85) or 5-9 for VIP ticket holders ($150). The money will not only benefit Share Our Strength, but it will also benefit Christian Community Action, Connecticut Food Bank, End Hunger Connecticut, and the local chapter of No Kid Hungry Connecticut. So, not only will you be helping to end childhood hunger, but you’ll also have some great music, treats, and drinks. Here are the details:
- Honorary Chef Chair Chef Jacques Pepin will be on hand.
- The Elizabeth Dellinger/Tony Dioguardi Duo will be entertaining all our guests in the Grand Ballroom.
- VIP Tickets holders can listen to an Evening Of Song with Tanya Leonard with Derek Monahan on guitar.
