Thank you all for the strength and power to state boldly that
this type of work is our Gospel made visible. - Jim
Lovell, Executive Director, TACO.
TACO is indebted to volunteers from thirty-five local churches and many other organizations, who
help prepare the Monday and Friday meals, raise funds at their own churches and within their own
communities, drive, shop, pick up food, gather supplies, and help in many other creative ways. For
