Taco Bueno, with the support of its guests, has made significant contributions to organizations that support survivors of domestic violence through their Tacos with a Purpose initiative. Launched in June, Tacos with a Purpose is a community-driven program that encourages customers to round up their purchase total to the nearest dollar and make additional donations, with proceeds going to organizations that support survivors of domestic abuse.
A total of 113 Taco Bueno stores across Texas and Oklahoma are participating in the program, with all contributions in Oklahoma supporting Palomar and donations in Texas benefiting The Family Place. Since June, the program has raised $117,613.96.
“At Taco Bueno, we believe in the power of community and the transformative effect of collective compassion,” said Robert Sanders, vice president of Taco Bueno. “By joining forces with our guests, we aim to make a lasting difference in the lives of those affected by domestic violence.”
In Oklahoma, $43,409.76 was donated, with the Taco Bueno Moore location raising $2,841.
In Texas alone, $74,204.20 was collected, with the Denton location raising $3,943. In Oklahoma, $43,409.76 was donated, with the Moore location raising $2,841, highlighting the immense community support across both states.
In Texas, the donations support The Family Place, the state's largest family violence service provider, now in its 46th year of service. The organization provides vital resources for survivors of domestic violence, including shelter, counseling, and advocacy programs.
Tiffany Tate, CEO of The Family Place, expressed gratitude for the support: "The impact that Taco Bueno is making through Tacos with a Purpose is truly remarkable. These funds are a tremendous help in our work, and we are so grateful to be a recipient. Additionally, this effort helps generate greater awareness of the resources available to those in need of safety."
In Oklahoma, contributions benefit Palomar, a nonprofit in Oklahoma City that offers wraparound services for victims of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, stalking, elder abuse, and human trafficking. Palomar's comprehensive approach helps survivors heal and rebuild their lives in a safe and supportive environment.
In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Taco Bueno is taking the initiative further by pledging to match all donations made through Tacos with a Purpose up to $10,000 during October.
As part of this initiative, Taco Bueno is committed to providing support not only to organizations aiding those affected by domestic abuse but also to its Taco Bueno employees and customers. Through charitable donations and the simple act of rounding up purchases, they aim to create a positive change. By offering resources, information, and avenues for assistance, Taco Bueno aims to create a safe and supportive environment for everyone who walks through its doors.
