Ninth Annual The Great Taste Returns In-Person

ICA is excited to announce the ninth annual Great Taste is coming back in-person this year. Our signature, annual event is an evening dedicated to celebrating the impact ICA has in our community and on the lives of our neighbors.

 

Please join us for a wonderful evening program on October 13, 2022, at Oak Ridge Country Club in Hopkins. The festivities will include a silent auction, live auction, tastings from area restaurants, a plated dinner meal, dessert, and exclusive access to an initial reveal about ICA’s future! The event starts at 6:00 p.m. and will be emceed by KARE11’s Belinda Jensen.

 

All proceeds from the event go directly to fund ICA’s programs, which provide food services, employment assistance and homelessness prevention to hundreds of local families every month.

 

“Last year, ICA was in the midst of celebrating our 50th anniversary. It was a year of reflection for many of us with our organization, as we celebrated how much we had grown and expanded since our founding in 1971. As we turn our attention to the next 50 years of service, we recognize how much our community continues to change as we emerge from the pandemic. Unfortunately, the need for resources has not waned, offering new challenges that provide us an opportunity to rethink our approach and strategically redefine access to meet the needs of people and families closer to where they live and work. To put it plainly, we have an obligation to change in accordance with the community around us. More than ever, we’re aspiring to become a true community organization, where all neighbors in need are welcome and surrounded by people who care about you and want to help."– Dan Narr, ICA Food Shelf Executive Director.

 

We are grateful to our generous sponsors for making this event possible. Our presenting sponsors are Alerus and Doran, while Marks Group Wealth Management, Domino’s Pizza, FASTSIGNS, Oak Ridge Country Club, BLVD Kitchen & Bar, Thirty Bales, Acowsay Cinema and GEM Family Foundation have also joined as sponsors.
