Taster's Feast Fundraising Event

Anniston, AL - When Maudine Holloway looked out onto the crowd at the 30th annual Taster’s Feast Fundraiser, she was thankful.  “I thank God for the fellowship and the togetherness,” Holloway said. “That’s the biggest blessing anyone can receive: working together.”  Holloway is the director of Community Enabler Developer, an agency that provides food, clothing and help with utility bills to those in need in Calhoun County. Taster’s Feast helps support the agency’s programs.  Attendees were asked to donate $10 at the event to sample food prepared by volunteers from area churches, but Holloway turned no one away from the event because it’s about more than the money, she said.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
