Coming Together for a Nationwide Cause

Guests were able to meet the chefs and taste their dishes, as well as enjoy live entertainment and a special auction. The event, held in Culver City’s Media Park, was supposed to end at 4 p.m., but the ambience was so enjoyable that the crowd stayed much longer.
Since 1998, Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation has raised more than $70 million, and funded more than 1,000 of the most effective anti-hunger organizations.
