UCCA's Taste of the Town: Dining for a Cause

United Community Concerns Association (UCCA) will host the 9th annual, Taste of the Town: Dining for a Cause, an Elmhurst food and drink experience, on May 14, 2026, from 6:00-10:00 pm at Wilder Mansion. “Even as our efforts grow, so does the need. More District 205 families are turning to us for support, underscoring how vital our community’s generosity is in helping us combat hunger and provide essential services," said Shari Haug, UCCA president.

The evening will showcase food, wine, and beer tastings from 18 Elmhurst businesses.

Proceeds from the 9th annual Taste of the Town: Dining for a Cause will benefit UCCA, an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization that fights hunger by providing food, referrals, and services to Elmhurst District 205’s most financially disadvantaged children and their families. Last year UCCA provided food and grocery store gift cards to 383 families and 82 senior citizens.

Tickets are $85 per person in advance and $90 after May 7 or at the door. Visit ucca-elmhurst.org to purchase tickets online or send payment to UCCA, P.O. Box 324, Elmhurst, IL 60126.
