One hundred percent of ticket proceeds from Taste of the Nation will go to Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger in America thanks to generous support from National Presenting Sponsor Sysco and national sponsors American Express and Food Network.

More than 16 million children in America struggle with hunger. Since 1988, Taste of the Nation has raised more than $82.5 million in the fight against childhood hunger, including more than $1.8 million from Taste of the Nation Washington, DC events. Local beneficiaries are Capital Area Food Bank, DC Hunger Solutions and Mary’s Center. Additionally, funds raised through Taste of the Nation have helped support the Partnership to End Childhood Hunger in the Nation’s Capital, the first of 11 state- and city-based partnerships to end childhood hunger across the country.

“Ending poverty is complex but feeding a child is not,” said Bill Shore, Founder and CEO of Share Our Strength. “With all the participants in Taste of the Nation sharing their strengths, we are able to create more resources to help children in the nation’s capital and across America get the nutritious food they need to live healthy, active lives.”
