About Taste of Wilkes

Taste of Wilkes began in 1992 as a time during the busy holiday season for the Wilkes family to gather together to celebrate family, food and giving. Taste of Wilkes was always a fun event to bring together the reason why Wilkes asks employees to make monetary contributions to the United Way. The United Ways goals and mission has always been to support families in need and educating youth.

While the format of Taste of Wilkes may have changed over the years, the goals have always remained the same: to celebrate the beautiful cultural diversity and favorite family dishes of faculty, staff, students and alumni. As well as giving us the opportunity to gather together to celebrate one another.
