A Matter of Taste 2026: An Evening Where Flavor Meets Purpose

Join us for an unforgettable evening at A Matter of Taste 2026, The Arc Westchester Foundation’s 19th Annual Tasting Event, on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, from 6–9 PM at the stunning Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle, NY. Featuring signature cuisine presented by the area’s finest chefs, this highly anticipated evening brings together exceptional food, generous community support, and a shared commitment to advancing opportunities for people with developmental disabilities.

Building on the extraordinary success of last year’s event—which welcomed over 360 guests, showcased nearly 20 local restaurants, and raised close to $500,000 in support of nearly 2,000 people and their families—A Matter of Taste 2026 promises to be another inspiring night where community, partnership, and impact take center stage.

Golf for Kids 2026: Driving Hope, Opportunity, and Impact

Mark your calendar for Monday, September 28, 2026, for Golfing for Kids 2026, The Arc Westchester Foundation’s annual golf outing dedicated to supporting the Children’s School for Early Development. This meaningful event directly benefits children from birth to five years of age by helping sustain the educational, social, and support services that give them the strongest possible start in life. With New York State funding falling short each year, this event plays a critical role in ensuring the School can continue to deliver high-quality services to families at no cost.
