Some of the local organizations that benefit from this event include the Greater Boston Food Bank, Project Bread/Walk for Hunger and Food for Free Committee.

After attending the glorious Taste event that was offered by Boston Magazine back in November, I was honored to be offered a chance to attend this year's Share our Strength Taste of the Nation Boston. And, in fact, as soon as I started researching the event and the organization Share Our Strength, I am hoping others will join me in eating fabulous food and supporting such a critical organization.
