On April 26 you can eat your way through Mountain Brook without leaving one street. Area restaurants will convene to offer a taste of their food at an inaugural Taste of Mountain Brook event on Hoyt Street in Crestline Village.
The event will be held during lunch time, and organizers hope that people will come to eat after church.
Ticket sales will benefit All In Mountain Brook, a new nonprofit organization that formed last year to enhance and protect the lives of Mountain Brook youth.
“We think it will be a good thing for our community and for a good cause,” Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce Director Suzan Doidge said. “All In is bringing in national speakers who are making a difference in our community.”
All In addresses a wider set of issues than its predecessor, Mountain Brook Anti-Drug Coalition. By involving parents, businesses, religious leaders and schools, the organization’s board hopes to model behavior to students and support them.
In October, All In brought John Beede, a mountain climber, to speak to both parents and students in assemblies, and in January it brought Renee Napier, whose daughter lost her life due to a drunk driver, to speak at Canterbury United Methodist Church. Also this year, police officers from Orange Beach and Panama City Beach addressed parents about how to stay safe over spring break thanks to All In. The organization plans to hold more similar events and other programming, thanks in part to a grant of $10,000 from the city this year and funds raised at Taste of Mountain Brook.
