Our annual Taste of Riverside is REC’s premier fundraising event of the year! Traditional Mexican food, drinks, auctions, music, and entertainment make for a fun-filled evening. 

Taste of Riverside is truly a community event. REC parents and friends prepare and present mouth-watering dishes; board members, staff, and volunteers pitch in to decorate the venue; REC high school students act as servers during the event, keeping tables well supplied with chips and homemade salsa (the recipe is secret); and members of the REC board are perfect hosts, making sure everyone is enjoying themselves.

The 14th Annual Taste of Riverside, held in October 2023, was REC’s best ever. We welcomed over 320 guests and raised a over $165,000 to benefit the Mesa County students enrolled in REC's life-changing programming! 

This signature event wouldn’t be possible without the generosity and efforts of a wonderful, giving community. Thank you!
