Join Us for “The Taste” 2022

For 26 years, the Taste of the South Shore has been the premier food & beverage tasting and social event on the South Shore, and the signature fundraising event for the South Shore YMCA. This year, there were TWO ways to enjoy The Taste experience while supporting our Y food pantry: an exclusive in-person dining event at Lombardo’s, and our virtual at-home Taste event on April 6.

Help us make sure that no one in our community goes hungry

It’s all to raise money to help feed families, seniors, and children across the South Shore through our South Shore YMCA food pantry, meal delivery, and more. What’s more, you will be helping to support these local restaurants who have generously donated their time and talent to this event for years.
