FOOD: TACO Dinner Service

Help serve a complimentary meal to anyone in the community! TACO serves a meal that includes a hot entrée, fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, pastries, homemade soup, juice, and coffee. Dinner is served to guests by volunteers in a cafeteria‑style setting inside and guests enjoy the meal outside on the patio.

The Coordinator will ask volunteers to assist with dishes.
