UCCA's Food for Life: Dining for a Cause Raises Funds for local families

UCCA would like to thank everyone who participated in and donated to this year’s Taste of the Town: Dining for a Cause held May 16, at Wilder Mansion. We sold out! More than 250 guests enjoyed delicious food and beverage tastings from 15 area businesses and raised more than $28,000 for UCCA.
