TAMPA, Fla. - It’s Taco Tuesday, meaning it’s time to eat as many tacos as you want guilt-free because the Tampa Bay Taco Takeover event is all for a good cause.
Event organizers said it will benefit the Homeless Empowerment Program, which helps low-income families and individuals with housing, food, clothing, and other support services.
Last year, the Bay Area saw a nearly 50% increase in homeless veterans.
Creative Loafing teamed up with more than 25 local restaurants to offer taco and drink specials. Proceeds will go to HEP.
