Taste for Hope returns again this year as one of the most sought after nights out in Ottawa. Shepherds of Good Hope is thrilled to return to in-person events that create impact and make a difference for those who need it most. Taste for Hope is a curated evening of delicacies, delights and donations all in support of the programs and services Shepherds of Good Hope provides for those who experience homelessness in our city. Taste for Hope features local renowned chefs preparing signature dishes — accompanied by libations from local craft breweries, vineyards and spirit companies — this is the tastiest charity event on Ottawa’s social calendar!

We are honoured to welcome local community and business leaders Liza Mrak and Gary Zed to the Shepherds family as co-chairs of Taste for Hope 2022. Liza and Gary demonstrate their passion and empathy for our community every day, and support several local charitable causes. Their support for Shepherds of Good Hope ensures that more people experiencing homelessness now will have better opportunities in the future.

You won’t want to miss a moment of the great fun in store at Taste for Hope 2022! Enjoy a glass or two of wine, beer, or specialty cocktails.

Eat, sip and bid your way through the night, all in support of Shepherds of Good Hope.
