A portion of this year’s proceeds will support 360 Communities, an organization that provides safety and stability to improve lives across our region. Their staff and volunteers serve over 16,000 individuals each year through a network of five food shelves, two domestic violence shelters, two resource centers, and programs that promote school success from birth through high school graduation.
You can support 360 Communities at the Taste of Lakeville by donating food or personal care items (see current needs below), or by making a monetary donation at the event.
Thanks to multiple anonymous donors, any gift made through our Lewis House Rotary Donation link will be matched four times! 100% of your tax-deductible donation directly funds this project and counts toward our club’s $100,000 commitment.
