Children’s Home Society of Florida, along with our Honorary Chair, Helen Ervin, is bringing Chefs’ Sampler back, but with a TWIST!

It’s our honor to introduce the first Chefs’ Taste of Home coming to Downtown Tallahassee on April 27, 2024. We invite epicurean aficionados and experience seekers to join us for a Saturday afternoon indulging in the finest, local cuisine, artfully paired libations, and a downtown walkabout around and within the area’s most historic and finest homes.

Guests will set off on a guided tour of five, beautiful downtown homes where they will enjoy an artfully curated signature dish from an esteemed Chef with wine pairings at each stop.

Five Homes. Five Chef’s. Downtown Tallahassee.

Our esteemed featured Chefs are:

Funds raised through Chefs’ Taste of Home will benefit our North Florida Programs and help us continue to DO GOOD for our CHS children and families.

  • Early Steps
    • When a child has a developmental delay, it can be scary, confusing and overwhelming. Early Steps helps parents navigate these challenges, celebrate the milestones and help their child reach his or her full potential.
  • Healthy Start
    • This free, voluntary program offers compassionate support and resources to pregnant women – many referred by their physician – and families with newborns.
  • Community Partnership Schools
    • By addressing barriers to learning—poverty, mental health struggles, homelessness and others – Community Partnership Schools bring together high-quality academic supports, health care, counseling, mentoring and more.
  • Family Resource Center
    • The family resource center (FRC) model is place-based service delivery strategy designed to empower families and improve childhood outcomes while reducing barriers like transportation and a disconnected system of care. Family Resource Centers (FRCs) work with families in a multi-generational, strengths-based, family-centered approach to enhance parenting skills, foster the healthy development and well-being of children, youth, and families, prevent child abuse, increase school readiness, connect families to resources, develop parent and community leadership, engage males and fathers, support healthy marital and couples relationships, and promote family economic success.

Together, we will help more children grow up in safe, strong families.
