Share Our Strength
Give Me Five

On August 22, 2010, Share Our Strength hosted their annual Give Me Five benefit dinner to raise money to help in the fight against childhood hunger. Five of Atlanta’s top chefs and five of Atlanta’s exceptional sommeliers came together at East Lake Golf Club and presented an outstanding five course meal. The evening began with five dazzling choices of passed hors d'oeuvres that set the spirit for the evening. The chefs and sommeliers amazed all with their incredible pairings of gourmet dishes and fine wines. With the help of other local chefs and Le Cordon Bleu student volunteers, the evening raised a substantial amount of money that will be used locally to benefit Atlanta’s hungry children.
