A Taste of the Mountains will once again be a passport event in 2024. Passports will allow patrons to purchase a coupon book with one-time discounts at local restaurants and other venues that will be valid for 12 months. Proceeds from our sponsors – and from passport sales and the silent auction will support Lumpkin County Family Connection’s (LCFC) efforts to build stable and self-sufficient families.
By supporting Taste, you support LCFC and the families in Lumpkin County. Last year sponsorships helped provide over 54,600 pounds of food to children, over $18,900 in emergency assistance to families, over 720 hours of mentoring for children, and over 2,000 hours of parent education.
Thank you in advance for your consideration to support our Family Advocacy Program, Backpack Buddies Program, Mentor Program, and Student Outreach Center. If you would like more information on passports, sponsorships, or LCFC please contact Brigette Barker at 706-864-6189 ext 41126. You can purchase passports at the Dahlonega Lumpkin County Visitors Center, online here (auctria.events/taste2024.lumpkin
), or by contacting us! Make sure to check out our online auction and bid on over 50 items until May 31st as well!
