The 2013 Taste of the Nation Boston event was an enormous success raising nearly $95,000 to help support Share Our Strength's efforts to end childhood hunger in Boston and across the nation. With over 45 restaurants, 6 food trucks and nearly 30 beverage providers guests were provided a variety of options. We are incredibly grateful that so many in the community came together during one of Boston's darkest times from our wonderful honorary chefs to the hardworking volunteers and everyone in between. In a true display of Boston Strong the entire room honored the victims of the marathon bombing with a 26.2 second moment of silence - no easy task during such a large event - followed by Boston's very own Dropkick Murphy's "Shipping Up to Boston." THANK YOU for your support and we're already looking forward to next year!

In 2012, proceeds from Taste of the Nation Boston locally supported these organizations that are dedicated to fighting childhood hunger:

COOKING MATTERS MASSACHUSETTS A non-profit organization teaching nutrition education and hands-on cooking skills to low-income families while incorporating food safety and how to shop healthfully on a budget through six curricula that are tailored to meet the needs of kids, teens and adults. Classes are taught in Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, Chelsea, Cambridge, Quincy, Plymouth, Fitchburg, Framingham, Worcester, Marlborough, and Cape Cod, and are they are currently adding more sites.

GREATER BOSTON FOOD BANK The Greater Boston Food Bank's mission is to end hunger in eastern Massachusetts. The Greater Boston Food Bank’s objective is to distribute enough food to provide at least one meal a day to those in need. The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) is the largest hunger-relief organization in New England and among the largest food banks in the country. Last year, the food bank distributed almost 35 million pounds of food, enough to provide healthy meals to as many as 545,000 people at risk of hunger.

PROJECT BREAD Project Bread is dedicated to alleviating, preventing, and ultimately ending hunger in Massachusetts. Through the Walk for Hunger, the oldest continual pledge walk in the country, they provide millions of dollars each year in privately donated funds to more than 430 emergency food programs in 125 communities statewide. They also champion programs that provide food to families in neighborhood settings such as schools, after-school programs, summer programs, community health centers, hospitals, and elder home care facilities — making hunger relief a normal part of their day.
