The 6th Taste of the Merrimack Valley

10.12.17

AMAZING FOOD FOR A WORTHY CAUSE

On Wednesday, October 11th, YDO hosted its annual fundraiser, the Taste of the the Merrimack Valley. This year, YDO had the honor of breaking in a beautiful new event space at the Everett Mill. The 6th TasteMV drew a wonderful crowd of family and friends and raised nearly $15,ooo to support YDO’s afterschool and summer enrichment programming.

Three special awards were announced for YDO’s restaurant partners who have participated in 5 TasteMVs. These longtime supporters are Bell Tower Cafe, El Taller Cafe & Bookstore, and Raagini Indian Bistro. Each 5-year restaurant will receive a commemorative plaque to display proudly in their establishment. Again, this event would not be possible without their tasty contributions!
