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

United Community Concerns Association will host the 6th annual, Taste of the Town: Dining for a Cause, an Elmhurst food and drink sampling, on May 18, 2023, from 6:00-10:00 pm at Wilder Mansion. “We’re so excited to be back at Wilder Mansion doing an in-person event after a 3 year absence due to COVID,” said Shari Haug, UCCA president.

The evening will showcase food, wine, and beer tastings from 15 Elmhurst businesses and live music.

Proceeds from 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. Each day in Elmhurst schools, 14.38% of children qualify for the free/reduced lunch program from District 205. These children facing food scarcity issues often lag behind their peers in terms of cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Last year UCCA provided more than $191,177 in food and grocery store gift cards to almost 280 families and 84 senior citizens.

Tickets are $75 per person in advance / $80 at the door. Visit ucca-elmhurst.org to purchase tickets online or send payment to UCCA, P.O. Box 324, Elmhurst, IL 60126.
