ARMS OUTSTRETCHED 2019/2020
Arms Outstretched members are those who have donated $365—a dollar a day—or more to TACO over the course of a year.
This amount is more significant than many realize. Kathryn Edin and H. Luke Shaefer, the authors of $2.00 A Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America, conclude that over a million American households live on $2 a day or less.
This type of extreme poverty is more widespread than most Americans realize, and San Diego is no exception. Fortunately. through the use of donated food and our dedicated volunteers (at meals, clinics, and elsewhere), TACO has learned out to make a dollar go a long way.
