Mom Uses Doorbell Camera to Invite Her Son Over For Taco Night
Moms know how to get ahold of us, regardless of if we answer the phone or not. Call it ingenuity or a mother s intuition, but they ll track you down and get you their message.
A woman named Maria from Rialto, California has a Ring doorbell camera on her house. Her son and daughter bought it for her so they could keep track of who is coming and going, plus they d be able to check on her from anywhere to make sure she s alright.
Maria s son reportedly rarely answers his phone, but does check the alerts that come through from the doorbell to make sure she s doing okay. When it came time for Taco Night at Maria s house, she knew just how to invite him in a way she knew he d see.

The COVID-19 pandemic may be easing, but the hunger crisis it exacerbated in Colorado is far from over. Nearly two in five Centennial Staters (38 percent) don’t have reliable access to nutritious food, according to a December survey by Hunger Free Colorado. That’s up from 29 percent in September 2020 and 10.2 percent in 2019 a sign of the profound and worsening economic challenges many are facing a full year into the pandemic.
Chris Kilcullen and Mark Sunderhuse founded the nonprofit food truck Kitchen One for One to create a connection point to pass on sustenance both as food and as goodwill. The three-year-old endeavor recently started a new program called Taco Nights as a way for people to enjoy meals while helping give food to those in need. “We wanted to go out and love people,” Kilcullen says. “We wanted to do it in a way that was non-threatening, meeting people right where they are no pretension, no requirements.”
Taco Nights work like this: Kitchen One for One volunteers set up the taco truck to sell meals to those who can afford to pay, and then Kilcullen and Sunderhuse use those funds to provide tacos to community members struggling with food insecurity. The new program is an adaptation of their old food truck model that caters specifically to the safety and social distancing realities of COVID-19 while also responding to increased demand. Their first Taco Night in Denver is Thursday,
almost ready to welcome you in to devour some epic Texas-style BBQ eats.
