HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Taste of Hutchinson: The Men Cook event to benefit Salthawk Community Support is back Jan. 21 after a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic. The mission of Salthawk Community Support is to work together to remove barriers to education for students in USD 308.
"We provide immediate needs, such as clothing, shoes, hygiene items, bedding, towels, lunch funds, transportation and school supplies," said Claire Foy with the fundraiser. "We're there for those that are needing immediate help. We are also there for supportive counseling, after school tutoring. We have a really outstanding math after school program, Circles of Hope classes, on site programs, such as Bite of Reality, Rachel's Challenge and Chain Reaction. This is not just for a specific number of students, but for the whole student body."
There will be 22 individuals or teams providing food for the event at the Hutchinson Art Center from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
"They will bring either an appetizer or an entree," Foy said. "The guests will come and sample each one of the 22 specialties. It doesn't seem like it would be that much food, but in the past, those last couple of years, people went home full."
Tickets, which are $40, are available at Apron Strings, The Wool Market, Trinity United Methodist Church and online.
