The funds raised by Taste! Central Florida? help Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida provide more than 244,000 nutritious meals each year to those in need.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida directs the funds raised from Taste! Central Florida to childhood hunger relief programs at their agency to assist the 1 in 5 kids who are facing hunger.
“For years Taste! Central Florida has been an incredible way to raise awareness and funds for one of the most critical issues in our community—childhood hunger. Thanks to the amazing support of our community, these funds have been able to make a huge impact on young shelter guests at the Coalition, who with their parents rely on us to provide them with healthy meals during their journey toward stable housing. 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 children wake up to a nutritious breakfast and end the day eating dinner with their families, never worrying when their next meal will be. Thank you for making this possible.”
ALLISON KRALL, PRESIDENT & CEO OF COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS OF CENTRAL FLORIDA
“Funds from Taste! Central Florida make it possible for Second Harvest to distribute 300,000 meals daily to individuals facing the challenges of hunger. It’s the heartwarming compassion and support from our amazing community that keeps us going – tirelessly working to close the troubling hunger gap right here in Central Florida.
Your kindness and support mean the world to us, and we can’t thank you enough for joining us to be a part of this meaningful journey.”

We’ve got an exciting lineup showcasing Central Florida’s culinary excellence. Check out who’s coming to Taste! 2024 so far and stay tuned for more updates.
Featuring the area’s most accomplished chefs, brewers, wine purveyors and spirit vendors, Taste! Central Florida invites the community to enjoy an evening of tasting portions of signature dishes accompanied by fine wines, craft beers, and specialty cocktails.
This annual celebration of the community’s culinary excellence is a volunteer-driven event with local chefs, brewers and distilleries donating their time, talent and creations to make this event one of the largest fundraisers of the year for Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida.
An all-volunteer steering committee, more than 300 day-of event volunteers, and tremendous in-kind support from a variety of local business partners allow us to direct every dollar raised to our beneficiaries while generating profound awareness and relief for the children of Central Florida who face hunger on a daily basis.
Now in its 33rd year and having raised more than $4 million dollars for childhood hunger, the region’s premier food and beverage tasting event brings a supremely delicious experience to our community, for our community, with a positively local flavor.
We’re back with our same distinguished local chefs, committed local volunteers, and important local beneficiaries.
The best part? All event proceeds will remain in our community to help connect struggling Central Florida families to the meals they need.
