Pepper's Fine Catering was recently awarded the “Houley Award” at the 2012 Taste of the Nation-Boston, a culinary fundraising event that took place on April 19.  

The annual Houley Award recognizes an individual in the food industry who has made “outstanding charitable contributions” to the community.  This award is given in honor of Barbara Houley, who is a contributing food columnist/writer for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette and Worcester Living Magazine.

Taste of the Nation is a fundraising event to end childhood hunger that is held in multiple communities across the U.S. through the Share Our Strength Foundation.  Over 70 local caterers, restaurants and wineries participated in Boston’s Taste of the Nation this year. All ticket sale proceeds go directly to organizations working to help end childhood hunger in both the Boston community and nationwide.
