Taste of the Town Committee member Geri Sorrentino meets with Eric Farrell of Bottle Theory to discuss plans for its upcoming benefit Taste of the Town: Dining for a Cause, which takes place on May 14 at Wilder Mansion.

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.
