Taste of Larchmont is September 15
PARTICIPANTS AT LAST year’s Taste of Larchmont converse with neighbors in the festival’s pavilion.
Over 15 restaurants have come on board to make this year’s Taste of Larchmont a fun and fruitful evening for HopeNet. This vital, one-and-only fundraiser takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Mon., Sept. 15, along Larchmont Boulevard between First Street and Beverly Boulevard. HopeNet is a nonprofit organization that provides healthy food and logistical support to 12 local faith-based food pantries.
This year’s theme is “Hope Rises.” In addition to restaurants, Executive Director Roya Milder has obtained close to 25 benefactors, sponsors and supporters to contribute to the fundraiser. As Milder stated in an email, “Sponsorships are a big driver behind the financial success of the event and our ability to serve our clients.” According to her, the sponsorships confirmed so far for this year are in line with the last couple of years but still lower than pre-pandemic numbers.
As with any fundraiser, “fun” is embedded in the name. Taste is a great opportunity to explore the different food venues on the Boulevard and mingle with neighbors and friends. The organizers anticipate 300-400 attendees.
HopeNet is looking for additional board members. Keep an eye out for a mailed invitation or visit hope-net.org to buy a $50 ticket. If you are interested in sponsorship or becoming a board member, reach out to Milder directly at 323-804-6059.
