SAN ANTONIO, May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Taco Cabana is
offering kids a free lunch – including a bean and cheese taco,
chips and queso and a drink – at all Texas locations through the end of summer. The
program is available to kids 12 and under, every weekday from
11 a.m. to noon.
Because of school closures due to COVID-19 restrictions, many
children are experiencing hunger issues. One in 7 Texans
experiences food insecurity, and children who rely on school and
camp lunches may not have access to regular meals while schools and
summer programs are closed.
"We have been part of this community for more than 40 years, and
Texas has been hit hard during
these unprecedented times. We are happy to offer kids in our
communities a free meal they love. We hope we can provide some
needed relief to the many families that have been impacted by the
current health crisis," said Patricia
Lopez-Calleja, senior vice president of guest engagement for
Fiesta Restaurant Group, parent company of Taco Cabana.
The offer is available through the drive-thru only at all
company-owned locations in Texas
for a limited time. Children must be present and accompanied by a
parent or guardian to receive a free meal. No purchase is
necessary.
