History
Twenty-seven years later, a few local members of
the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association decided to
host an event that would express gratitude for the year round
residents that patronize the local restaurants. The first event
was very well received and the Taste of Collier Board
members decided for the second year event they would partner
with a local non-profit organization and donate a portion of
funds raised, thus giving even more back to the Collier Community.
 Twenty-seven
years later, many local charities have shared in over $600,000
raised during the Taste of Collier events.
These non-profit organizations include Collier County Chapter
of the American Red Cross, MS Home, READ of Southwest Florida,
POLO Club, ROTC, Naples Alliance for Children, National alliance
for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), PACE Center of Immokalee, Catholic
Charities and Mental Health Association.
Taste of Collier also contributes to local culinary programs, Pro Start Programs, and culinary scholarships. As well as sponsoring individuals for State and National competitions.
Join us for the 27th Annual Taste of Collier to be held May 2nd at Bayfront, corner of Goodlette Frank and Fifth Avenue South, in downtown Naples .For more information please phone 239-272-1907.
