Turning Point Food Fundraiser Unites South Coast Restaurants

Several notable food-related events and initiatives are currently enhancing community dining experiences and addressing food accessibility across the U.S. On the South Coast, Turning Point's Taste of Our Town fundraiser returns for its third year, featuring local restaurants and food trucks to support people experiencing homelessness. In Okeechobee, the Treasure Coast Food Bank expanded its summer meal program by adding three grab-and-go sites, distributing an additional 26,000 meals to combat child hunger with support from No Kid Hungry Florida. Meanwhile, Guam's Fish Eye Marine Park launched a daily lunch service offering a buffet and à la carte menu in a tropical setting, providing variety and value for residents and visitors. The US Open in New York City also offers a diverse food scene, including affordable options like chicken tenders with waffle fries and classic hot dogs, despite generally high prices at the event. Additionally, a culinary event in New York City showcased dishes inspired by St. Pete-Clearwater's museums, highlighting the region's innovative gastronomy and craft cocktails.
