The annual event organized by Dorchester-based nonprofit Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance (MAHA) puts the spotlight on local eateries while raising funds for MAHA s homeownership education and civic engagement programs. Last year’s event, Taste of Dorchester “At Home,” saw the community rally to support the beleaguered Dorchester restaurant scene; similarly, this year, proceeds will go to local restauranteurs, with attendees encouraged to order takeout from those neighborhood establishments.
