your restaurant and menu. All Carson City area restaurants are
invited to participate in the Taste of DownTown and showcase their
faire to people throughout the area and surrounding communities.
Restaurants are not charged a fee to participate, and are reimbursed
on a per taste basis. Each restaurant is provided volunteers who
work in shifts of two at each site providing information,
assistance, and an official taste count.

March.

Volunteer Opportunities:
The Taste of DownTown works in union with the Redevelopment
Authority, Chamber of Commerce, City of Carson, local businesses,
residents and visitors to build the local economy and sense of
community. Whether helping with set-up of stamping tickets, as a
Taste volunteer, it is an exciting
chance to meet new people, rediscover old friends, and have a great
time helping raise funds for the shelter. Each restaurant is
assigned two shifts of volunteers who work in teams of two, a
wonderful opportunity to pair up with a friend and volunteer. As a
volunteer, you receive an official Taste of DownTown t-shirt and a
Taste ticket to enjoy the event before or after your shift.
Volunteers begin contacting the agency in February, with assignments
allocated in the Spring. To sign up or for more information,
