HopeNet is celebrating its 35th anniversary of providing free, accessible and healthy food to anyone who wants or needs it, HopeNet Executive Director and local resident, Roya Milder, told us.
“My family and I have attended the Taste of Larchmont for years, which makes me particularly pleased to be able to bring the ‘Taste’ to our community this year for the 31st time.”
Milder continues, saying that the Taste of Larchmont event “has really become a mainstay on the annual calendar, and we are exceptionally grateful to all of the restaurants, sponsors and attendees who make this happen. It is so meaningful to generate the funding for HopeNet that helps us relieve food insecurity in Metro Los Angeles. I hope people will continue to support HopeNet so that the work we do will continue.”
Passports for the Taste of Larchmont are $50 each. Raffle tickets are $20 for five and $5 for one ticket. Passports usually sell out before the event. Get yours at hope-net.org.
