A Taste for Giving 2018
Save-the-Date! This year's "foodie" fall event is Thursday, October 4, 2018 6-9PM at Full Sail Live (141 University Park Drive).

A Taste for Giving is an innovative event combining JFS Orlando’s mission to feed our hungry neighbors with an upscale event for food enthusiasts.

This year we’re bringing back our “Chefs' Challenge” wherein local celebrity chefs create unique “tapa-style” dishes inspired by ingredients found in our Pearlman Emergency Food Pantry . The recipe is then judged by guests on creativity, presentation and taste.

The night simultaneously celebrates delicious culinary delights as well as the vital role our pantry plays in fighting hunger in Central Florida.  Tickets will go on sale soon!

Join us and taste for yourself how delicious giving back can be!
