Taco John’s stepped up to support communities affected by the government shutdown by offering free meals to anyone in need. From Friday, October 31 through Sunday, November 2, Taco John’s restaurants provided one free Community Support Special meal per guest, which includes a beef or bean burrito and junior Potato Olés.
This grassroots initiative began with a single franchise group and spread across the Taco John’s system. Many Taco John’s operators live and work in the towns they serve, with some having grown up in the business.
“We’re proud to be giving back to our communities who have supported us since 1969,” said Heather Neary, President & CEO of Taco John’s International. “Our vision is to be the community’s first choice for tacos and burritos, and this effort is a reflection of that commitment.”
In addition to the free meal initiative, the Taco John’s Foundation will make a donation to local food banks for every Taco Bravo® sold on Thursday, November 6th.
