A ton of Los Angeles’ finest chefs, wineries & mixologists are participating at this year’s event, by donating their time, talent & passion to fight childhood hunger. 100% of ticket sales supports Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger.
Share Our Strength: No Kid Hungry
In 2004, Share Our Strength developed its national strategy to end childhood hunger in America. This strategy focuses on long-term solutions that support access to nutritious foods and healthy choices—the difference between feeding a family tonight and ensuring that they never have to worry about when their next meal will come. It is designed to bridge the gaps between existing, effective programs and the families who need them. Learn More »
At its core are three sensible goals:
- Increase access to public and private programs that provide food to children and their families.
- Strengthen community infrastructure and systems that connect children to healthy food.
- Improve knowledge about available programs and how to get the most from limited resources.
How We Share Our Strength
Since 1988, Taste of the Nation has raised more than $70 million. Funds from Taste of the Nation are directly invested in the most successful organizations committed to ending childhood hunger in America. Working with state and local organizations across America, we implement our national childhood hunger strategy as well as its supporting 10-point plan.

Internationally, Taste of the Nation has raised 85% of the more than $10.3 million Share Our Strength has granted to organizations. We focus our efforts in four priority countries, Ethiopia, El Salvador, Haiti and Mexico, that are working toward sustainable solutions to underdevelopment, poverty and hunger.

To purchase tickets: Share Our Strength
Per TotNLA Volunteer coordinator, all spots are filled as of Tuesday, except: “At this point, apart from Saturday Set-up and 2nd Shift on Sunday, we cannot take any more volunteers for the event.” Even the 2nd shift on Sunday looks a wee bit packed.
Tony, Boobs4Food is handling a particular part of the event (carnival games!), so this is fine by me. Would you and your wife rather work with them?
Also, to clarify, volunteers do NOT need to purchase tickets. I may have misconstrued that last sentence, but better safe than sorry.
