Share our Strength’s 21st Annual Taste of the Nation Orlando on Saturday, June 5, 2010 was a huge success, raising $156,000 to fight childhood hunger. Almost 2,000 people enjoyed the specialties of 34 chefs, great beverages, music by the band 3 Bucksworth, a silent auction, human statues and trees, and much more. This year’s event was hosted by the Marriott World Center.
