Zanesville Civic League Community Center Gets Ready for their 28th annual Taste of Color

ZANESVILLE, OH- During Black History Month, it’s important to remember African Americans who made history helping people in need whether from the injustice of race, gender or social class.

The Zanesville Civic League Community Center is continuing that mission through their 28th annual Taste of Color. It’s a fundraiser where people come together and explore the building, the gymnasium, see the history and art displayed, while also enjoying some good food made by Chef Steve. Executive Director of the Zanesville Civic League Community Center Lisa Rooks said that the proceeds from this event will go towards their programs that will help kids in need.
