Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation® Houston is the nation’s largest and finest culinary benefit supporting the effort to end childhood hunger in America. Funds raised are granted to organizations that work to end childhood hunger, both in communities where Taste of the Nation events are held and in other communities across the country.
Taste of the Nation Houston 2012 will be a culinary extravaganza featuring food and wine from over 50 of Houston’s finest restaurants and chefs. Attendees will spend the evening strolling, sipping and socializing with fellow Houstonians at the lovely Houstonian Hotel Club & Spa, while raising money to fight hunger. VIP Guests have the opportunity to mingle in the exclusive VIP Lounge with specialty drinks and private catering.
100% of ticket sales supports Share Our Strength's efforts to end childhood hunger.
