When A Taste of Glynn first debuted a quarter-century ago, it was a modest gathering with a bold purpose: to bring people together over food while raising critical support for survivors of domestic violence through Amity House. Twenty-five years later, the event has blossomed into one of the Golden Isles’ most anticipated culinary traditions—an evening where flavors delight, chefs shine, and the community unites for an unforgettable cause.
On Sunday, January 18, 2026, the elegant halls of Sea Palms Resort will come alive with music, laughter, and the tantalizing aromas of the Golden Isles’ best cuisine. But this year isn’t just any year—it’s the 25th anniversary, a true “silver celebration” that honors both legacy and hope.
Behind the glamour of small plates and silver trays lies the true heart of A Taste of Glynn: Amity House and Glynn Community Crisis Center. Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship pledged, and every dish enjoyed, turns into life-changing support for survivors of domestic violence.
To commemorate the anniversary, the evening will feature “25 Stories of Survival.” These are personal glimpses into the lives touched and transformed through the programs Amity House provides. The stories, displayed throughout the venue, will remind guests of the resilience and strength that has been nurtured in the community’s generosity through the years.
One story might highlight a mother who found safety and stability for her children. Another may share how counseling and advocacy opened the door to a new beginning. Together, these 25 stories create a powerful mosaic of compassion—proof that for every year A Taste of Glynn has thrived, countless lives have been lifted.
Of course, the silver celebration wouldn’t be complete without the beloved traditions that make A Taste of Glynn a hallmark event:
• Culinary Excellence: Local chefs, restaurants, and caterers offering their finest.
• Live Entertainment: Music by Michael Hulett and Bill Lukitsch, setting the stage for mingling.
• Silent Auction: Exclusive items and experiences donated by local businesses, adding another layer of excitement to the evening.
• Community Connection: Hundreds of guests gathering with one shared mission: to support survivors and strengthen the Golden Isles.
• Hundreds of stories of hope, resilience, and new beginnings made possible by the generosity of this community.
A silver anniversary offers the perfect moment to pause and reflect, but also to dream about what comes next. As A Taste of Glynn steps into its 25th year, its purpose is as vital as ever. Domestic violence continues to affect families in our community, and Amity House remains a steadfast source of safety, compassion, and advocacy. By attending, sponsoring, or simply spreading the word, you become part of a legacy that is bigger than one evening—it’s a movement of kindness and empowerment that stretches across generations.
At its core, A Taste of Glynn is more than a culinary celebration—it’s a lifeline of hope. The event’s proceeds directly fund Glynn Community Crisis Center/Amity House which for decades has provided safe haven, immediate crisis intervention, and dedicated advocacy for survivors of domestic violence across Glynn and McIntosh counties and beyond. Through trauma-informed, compassionate support and practical assistance, our programs empower women, men, and children to rebuild their lives with dignity, safety, and independence. Guided by an understanding of the lasting impact of trauma, we meet each survivor where they are, fostering trust, promoting healing, and supporting their journey toward long-term stability and hope
Since opening its doors, Amity House has helped thousands of individuals and families escape abuse, find safety, and start anew. From emergency housing and counseling to legal advocacy and community education, the organization’s work ripples far beyond its walls, creating stronger, safer communities throughout the Golden Isles. Each Taste of Glynn ticket purchased helps ensure that those escaping violence never have to face their journey alone.
