More than $20,000 was raised for United Community Concerns Association at Taste of the Town: Food for Life, held May 16 at the Wilder Mansion in Elmhurst.
Over 200 guests enjoyed delicious food and beverage tastings from 17 Elmhurst businesses and music by Clay Corso. The money that was raised at the event will be used to provide food for Elmhurst Community School District 205 children and their families experiencing difficult times, as we strengthen our community by ending hunger.
