At the Ninth Annual Taste of Henry on Friday, enthusiastic food lovers packed the Jason T. Harper Event Center in McDonough to satisfy their taste buds and raise money for a worthy cause.

Taste of Henry is the largest fund-raiser for A Friend's House, according to Nan Jenkins, one of the organizers of the event, and the director of development for the non-profit residential facility that provides shelter and safety for abused, abandoned and neglected children. Since the home opened its doors in 1998, more than 1,500 children have stayed there, according to Jenkins.
