BACKGROUNDER

“Taste of Somerset,” has become a model for culinary fund raising events. Hundreds of local businesses have benefited from the exposure and thousands have enjoyed the finest cuisine representing every corner of the world. And most importantly, the tenants of the PeopleCare Center, and the thousands upon thousands of the people that they serve, have benefited from the money that has been raised. “Taste” has generated approximately $500,000 for the PeopleCare Center. The funds raised serve to provide a secure, comfortable, and affordable home to non-profit agencies.

PeopleCare Center was established in 1984 as a permanent home for human service agencies. PeopleCare is a private non-profit organization in Somerset County which provides a physical plant to house non-profit agencies and organizations at below market cost. The Center seeks to maximize the accomplishment of community service goals by encouraging sharing of human and physical resources. Among the services addressed by PeopleCare tenants are homelessness, literacy, child care, foster care children, education, and individuals of all ages with various disabilities.
