The 27th Annual Taste of Newport will benefit
Child & Family's Supportive Housing Program for Homeless Mothers and their Children

What is the Taste of Newport? Child & Family's annual Taste of Newport has become one of the most successful and best known fundraising events in the State of Rhode Island. It is one of the finest examples of a community coming together in support of a social service agency, which in turn support those in need within Newport County and beyond.

Held annually in November, over 45 of Newport County's best chefs and caterers join together to showcase their culinary expertise and share their delicious creations with over 500 guests. The event features a sit down buffet with appetizers, entrees, desserts and specialty coffees. The event also includes a silent and live auction as well as a raffle. Contributions for the auctions and raffle are generously donated by local and regional businesses and organizations.

How does the Taste of Newport benefit Child & Family, and in turn those in need within Newport County and beyond? Funds raised from the annual Taste of Newport have provided resources that allow Child & Family to reach out to members of our community who would otherwise have gone un-served. These members include teens struggling with depression, elders who have suddenly lost their caretakers, families in need of quality child care they can afford, families who are homeless, and many, many others.

How did the Taste of Newport start? It has been over 25 years since a small community of volunteers, led by Newport resident Jeannie Sullivan and Donna Maytum, launched Child & Family's "Taste of Newport." Since then, the generous chefs and restaurant owners of Newport and its surrounding communities have turned out the best spread of culinary delights that can be found anywhere.
