Taste for Giving Returns Nov. 7: A Night of Flavor and Philanthropy in Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, VA – The Alexandria Rotary Foundation will host the 18th Annual Taste for Giving on Friday, November 7, 2025, at the Atrium Building in Old Town Alexandria, bringing together local restaurants, breweries, and wineries for an evening of food, fellowship, and philanthropy.

The Taste for Giving has become one of the city’s premier fall events, drawing more than 225 attendees each year. Guests can expect gourmet tastings from some of the area’s top restaurants and caterers, desserts, beer and wine from local brewers and vintners, live music, and a spirited live auction. The evening celebrates Alexandria’s vibrant community spirit while raising funds to support charities serving children, families, and seniors.

Purpose Beyond the Plate

The goals of Taste for Giving are twofold: to raise much-needed funds for local nonprofits and to provide an evening where Alexandrians can come together to reconnect and celebrate their city. With charities facing increasing demand, organizers stress that community support is more vital than ever.

Since its inception, the Alexandria Rotary Foundation has donated more than $1.7 million over 17 years to dozens of nonprofits, helping sustain critical programs across the city.
