“We’re so excited that Taste! Central Florida is coming back in 2023! There’s nothing quite like the energy of a room full of people who are coming together to fight one of the most critical issues in our community – childhood hunger. Over the years, funds raised at this event have made an incredible difference for the youngest shelter guests at the Coalition. On any given day, there are about 100 children staying in our Center for Women and Families. Your generous support of Taste! Central Florida ensures that these kids wake up to a nutritious breakfast and end the day eating dinner with their families, never worrying when their next meal will be.” – Allison Krall, President/CEO of Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida
“Funds from Taste! Central Florida make it possible for Second Harvest to continue to provide 250,000 meals to those who face uncertainty every single day. Thanks to the kindness, generosity, and support of our community, we can continue to close the gap on childhood hunger in Central Florida which unfortunately remains too wide at this time. Thank you for caring, and for helping to make this possible.” – Derrick Chubbs, President & CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida
