For every $1 donated to the Cleveland Foodbank, it can provide 4 meals in a hunger center. So for the $150 Taste of the Browns ticket price, that's 600 MEALS! You get to enjoy amazing food prepared by our area's best chefs, meet Browns celebrities, listen to live music, win fantastic auction and raffle packages...and provide meals to those in need.
