On Sunday, June 27, from 3pm-8pm, many Portland Foodies will converge on the Ocean Gateway to taste the fine food and drink prepared by some of Maine’s best chefs to raise money to help end hunger. The 5th Annual Taste of the Nation event promises to be fantastic with more than 20 chefs preparing foods which will be paired with wines and drinks.

One hundred percent of ticket sales support the effort to end childhood hunger and The Preble Street Teen Center, East End Kids Katering, Good Shepherd Food Bank, and Cultivating Communities are  the beneficiaries for the 2010 Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation event.

For further information on the event or to purchase tickets online, visit Taste of the Nation Portland Maine.
