Great Tastes at Suntree Announces Participating Restaurants for Event

Sept. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- MELBOURNE, FL -

The Rotary Club of Suntree is set to host the ninth annual Great Tastes at Suntree, benefiting The Children’s Hunger Project, as sponsored by Florida Today.  The event will include select restaurants from the Melbourne area providing samples of their finest cuisine.  All net proceeds will be donated to The Children's Hunger Project. The program provides weekend meals to children in need during the school year. The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in schools for children from families below the poverty level.

In some elementary schools within Brevard County,  more than 80% of the students can take advantage of the reduced meal program. For some students, lunch on Friday is the last regular meal they will receive until the following Monday.  Volunteers from The Children's Hunger Project package food items, which are delivered to an expanding number of Brevard County elementary schools. The schools provide the packages to children at risk on Friday afternoon.  The food is purchased from donations or funds raised at events such as The Great Tastes at Suntree.
