Taste for Life is Apna Ghar's signature event, featuring some of Chicago's top restaurants. This event brings together approximately 400 guests, for a celebration honoring the gender violence survivors we serve and to reinforce our joint commitment to ending violence against women. 

Thank you for helping make this year's event a success! With your help we raised over $100,000 to support survivors of gender violence!
