Taste of the Nation Portland, OR

50 RESTAURANTS · 20 WINERIES · 5 BREWERIES · ONE MISSION TO END CHILDHOOD HUNGER

Join Us for Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation® Portland 23rd Annual Culinary Event on April 26th, 2010

PORTLAND, OREGON — With a passion to fight childhood hunger, Portland’s best restaurants, wineries, breweries and mixologists will gather for Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation, the city’s premier culinary benefit. Taste of the Nation Portland will raise critical funds needed to support Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger in Oregon and across the nation. This year’s event will be on April 26th, 2010 at Luxe Autohaus at 6:30pm, with a LUXE and VIP entry time starting at 5:00pm and 5:30pm, respectively.

Oregon is a state known for its abundant production of fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, and yet 1 in 6 kids in Oregon experience food insecurity and do not receive proper nutrition to grow and develop. The Oregon Food Bank has seen demand for emergency food boxes increase 15% over last year. Taste of the Nation works to end childhood hunger in the United States and abroad by ensuring that children and their families have reliable access to nutritious food, and by addressing the deeper causes of these conditions.

One hundred percent of ticket and auction revenue help ensure no kid in America grows up hungry.
