“Normally, at this time of year, Project Self-Sufficiency would be joining more than 500 supporters and more than 45 chefs and restauranteurs at Perona Farms for A Taste of Talent, our signature fundraising event,” commented Deborah Berry-Toon, Executive Director of Project Self-Sufficiency.  “The current public health crisis has significantly altered our plans, but we are still maintaining our full caseload while providing food and essential services to hundreds of individuals and families in need.  We are exceptionally grateful to the staff at Perona Farms for developing this ingenious effort which will allow select participating families to enjoy a special feast in honor of Mother’s Day.”

"Our family has long supported the great work of Project Self Sufficiency - especially their annual Taste of Talent fundraiser,” explained Bryant Avondoglio, Perona Farms.  “Given the major fundraiser cancellation due to the COVID crisis, we wanted to do our part by providing hospitality to the moms and families Project Self Sufficiency supports every day."
