50 Chicago Chefs Unite for Taste of the Nation, a Fundraiser Fighting Hunger in Schools
Briefly

In June, Chicago will host a significant fundraiser called Taste of the Nation, featuring over 50 chefs and mixologists to support the No Kid Hungry campaign. Co-chaired by acclaimed chefs Joe Flamm and Diana Dávila, the event aims to combat food insecurity for school-aged children. Held at Rockwell on the River, attendees can expect a diverse culinary experience from prestigious local restaurants. With one in five children facing hunger in the U.S., Share Our Strength emphasizes the importance of providing schools the resources needed for healthy food access.
"The first thing they do in the morning is they give them breakfast through this program. It's simple, you know what I mean? It’s yogurt, it’s a cereal. But these kids start their day sitting and eating with each other, and it’s not like one or two kids who are getting singled out for not having what they need. It's everyone."
"Share Our Strength reports one in five kids in the United States lives in hunger. The nonprofit founded in 1984 is working to change that by providing schools and community organizations with the resources they need so that kids have access to healthy food."
