With a multitude of food samples at your disposal, your choices for holiday catering will be on full display. Make sure to save room in your tummies for Bugg’d Out BBQ, as Millrace staple Jermaine Robinson will be present with a sampling of his legendary BBQ creations!

Located at 40 South Main Street, this culinary-centered stop promises to be a complete delight. Taking place from 2-7pm at the Millrace Patio and event space, the Taste of Millrace will be a chance for the community to sample food from several of our kitchen members–while also enjoying the surrounding festivities!

Participating Millrace businesses include Lucy’s Dog Biscuits, Poppy+Lemon, Twisted Churros, DaniCakesRI, Caribbean Delights, Chelcuterie and Bugg’d Out BBQ! And don’t forget to keep an eye out for Geri, of Geri’s Bluffing Boutique, and her unique style, as she’s gracing Millrace this holiday season with her gift of festive decorating!

In true “spirit of giving” style, the Taste of Millrace event is backed by the Citizens Growing Communities Program, which provides grants to foster neighborhood revitalization efforts and invest in the economic development of the community. The Taste of Millrace is grateful to be benefiting from Citizens Bank’s mission to support and highlight small family owned food businesses, generating much appreciated publicity during the holiday season! We’d like to acknowledge and thank Citizens for their continued support and encouragement of our work here at NeighborWorks.

“Funders are central to the work we do on a daily basis,” said NWBRV’s Daynah Williams. “Their help allows us to ensure the services we provide are impactful and continue to grow. While Citizens is always willing to provide NWBRV with monetary means, they are also willing to assist us in teaching and often participate in current events. Our collaboration with Citizens is a true example of community partnership at work
