To the Editor:
The committee of the “Taste of Boca Grande” is presenting the following report regarding our financial results for 2020.
Over the past 18 years we have made $610, 650 to present to the Harry Chapin Food Bank. Amazingly, the Food Bank is able to buy $8 worth of food for every $1 we give to them to feed the hungry in our neighborhoods. In plain words, this represents $4.8 million. 
Also, we are pleased to announce that the former chairman of Best Buy, Richard  M Schultz, has set up his Family Foundation that will match every dollar that we earned to feed the hungry this year.
Proudly,
 ‘The  Committee’
 Tony Zaranti, Dawn Haven
