Causes: Food, Food Banks & Pantries
Mission: Hunger related events exists to address the needs of the hungry and homeless by raising awareness and money through special events and programs.
Programs: Since 1992, the taste of the nfl has rallied the country's top chefs and the nfl's greatest players to raise money in support of food banks throughout the united states. This is done through via three avenues:-on-line donations during the kick hunger challenge(september-january)-locally hosted taste of the nfl events by an nfl team and their food bank featuring their players and local chefs -the super bowl taste of the nfl - the party with a purpose. Held on the eve of super bowl in the host city. This event is a unique way to experience exceptional cuisine, meet nfl players and coaches, and support our fight against hunger. Through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers who help make "taste of the nfl - party with a purpose" the single most successful charitable event at the super bowl, the taste of the nfl organization continues to help feed the 37 million americans who have turned to their local food banks for assistance. Millions of needs, thousands of families and dozens of new hunger projects have been affected by this major volunteer effort. Our goal: end hunger. Each year, net proceeds from the taste of the nfl's super bowl event are donated to feeding america-affiliated food banks in each of the nfl cities with an emphasis on the super bowl host city's food bank. For over 25 years, taste of the nfl has been working to kick hunger, and are proud to report that we have raised more than $25 million during that time.
