Meals On Wheels Atlanta invites the community to join TASTE 2025 on Friday, May 30—a dynamic evening of food, culture and purpose to support Atlanta’s seniors. This highly anticipated culinary celebration at 1705WEST brings together more than 15 food pop-ups featuring Atlanta’s hottest restaurants, chefs and food trucks, along with signature cocktails, immersive brand activations, exclusive auction items and curated DJ sets.
The event also honors 12 Atlanta Tastemakers—rising leaders from food, fashion, media, business and tech—who are shaping the future of our city and acting as event ambassadors.
“This year’s TASTE is more than a celebration of Atlanta’s vibrant culinary community—it’s a vital fundraiser that supports our mission to serve the city’s most vulnerable seniors,” said Charlene Crusoe-Ingram, CEO of Meals On Wheels Atlanta. “With an unprecedented number of seniors on our waitlist, every ticket sold brings us one step closer to ensuring that no senior in Atlanta goes hungry.”
Auction items include experiences and dinners from Avize, Southern Belle + Georgia Boy, Heirloom Market, Little Tart/Big Softie, Carmel and more.
All proceeds from TASTE 2025 directly support MOWA’s meal services program, helping ensure no senior has to wait for the nourishment they deserve.
Tickets are available online for purchase.
