Taste of the Nation Santa Barbara

100% of ticket sales supports Share Our Strength's efforts to end childhood hunger.

Thank you so much for attending Taste of the Nation Santa Barbara 2011 on June 5th at Montecito Country Club! The event was a huge success!

Nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the sparkling Pacific Ocean, Montecito Country Club was the ideal spot to enjoy an impressive collection of the best chefs and restaurants in Santa Barbara. Guests enjoyed tastings from an array of select wines and special dishes prepared by over 25 of Santa Barbara’s top restaurants.

Proceeds locally went to benefit the Food Bank of Santa Barbara County. Both organizations are fighting to end childhood hunger in Santa Barbara.

Each ticket purchased helped to support Share Our Strength’s efforts in eliminating childhood hunger as well as our local beneficiaries. In the wake of staggering reports that nearly half of all children in the U.S. will be on food stamps at the some point in their life, there is no time to waste. The time to act is now.

Thank you for your continued support in our mission to ensure that no kid goes hungry and we look forward to seeing you at Taste of the Nation Santa Barbara 2012!
