Orlando -- Help hungry neighbors by participating in Taste! Central Florida, a food-focused fundraiser for the Second Harvest Food Bank and the Coalition for the Homeless.
Formerly called Taste of the Nation, this annual event invites local residents to eat freely from foods prepared by local chefs. Wines and other spirits will be poured.
During the event, at which dozens of tables dole out lovely foods, guests have other ways to donate money. With the Giving Tree, guests pay $50, then choose an envelope hanging from a tree. Prizes tend to be dining and beverage gift certificates ranging worth $25 to $300. Then there's the Wine Cellar: Buy a ticket and you may win 150 bottles of wine worth $2,500.
Here are some of the restaurants who'll be dishing out food:
The event will take place at the Orlando World Center Marriott. $150. Tickets
