Taste of Maple Fundraiser

Join Us for a Delicious Evening

Sample sweet and savory maple bites created by local chefs at Mayo’s Taste of Maple, March 27, 2026 at Mayo Residential Care, 610 Water Street, Northfield, VT 05663.  Sip wine, listen to live entertainment by Seth & Sophie, enjoy hors d’oeuvres, vote for Top Chef and the People’s Choice, and bid on one-of-a-kind experiences, services, and gifts at the silent auction. The Taste of Maple benefits Mayo Healthcare, Northfield’s small, award-winning, non-profit senior living facility, which has been caring for residents for more than 86 years.

This year, all proceeds from the Taste of Maple benefit will go towards creating a vibrant Party Patio in our courtyard, enhancing safety and fostering community connections among residents. The construction of a beautifully designed gazebo with a sturdy concrete foundation and pathway will eliminate tripping hazards like tree roots, while providing ample sun protection. This inviting space will serve as a central hub for social activities, live entertainment, hosting events such as barbecues, and community special events, all while promoting a sense of belonging.

To help cover just some of these costs, we set the goal of raising $30,000 dollars by May 2026.
