Beer-Tasting Fundraiser Benefits Antipoverty Nonprofit

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — A beer-tasting event to benefit a antipoverty nonprofit in Brooklyn is coming to The Community House in Forest Hills Gardens, located at 15 Borage Pl.

The Face-to-Face Project, based in Brooklyn, began as The Face-to-Face AIDS Project in 203 as part of a Harvard Medical School initiative to document the AIDS pandemic in South Africa. Today, the nonprofit seeks to find the best way to break the cycle of poverty through helping communities rely on themselves.

The fundraiser, held 1 to 4:30 p.m., is in its second year, inviting donors to taste samples from home brewers and local breweries.

Tickets are on sale for $25 through Eventbrite. Food will be available for purchase at the event. (For more information on this and other neighborhood stories, subscribe to Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)

The event is cosponsored by The Church in the Gardens and local breweries. Parking passes will be supplied at the event, and mass transit is available by the E, F, M and R trains, organizers say.
