Tacos for Houston: A way for you to help out Texans affected by Hurricane Harvey

Since Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, people across the country have been looking for ways to help their fellow Americans in need.

Locally, a number of Fresnans have found creative ways to raise money for those affected by the disaster. Eddie’s Bakery Cafe is selling “Texas-sized” cookies, with proceeds benefiting the American Red Cross. Author Jaime Horio of The Fresnerd is donating 100% of his book sales to Houston charities.

And some local taco truck owners are coming together to do their part, as well.

On Tuesday, Sept. 5, these business owners will gather at Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Co., along with some local musicians, to raise money for the Red Cross.

All you have to do to help out is show up and eat tacos, something we Fresnans are very, very good at.

Participating taco trucks for this event include:
• Taqueria Jaliscience
• Imperial Taqueria
• Taqueria El Premio Mayor
• Los Toritos Taco Truck
• Taco Mary’s

With live music from:
• 40 Watt Hype
• DJ Green Giant

And dessert from:
• Pops Emporium

Tacos For Houston is a collaborative effort between the organizers of Taco Truck Throwdown, Tacos, Brews & Jams, Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Co., AudioFina Sound & Lighting, and Fresno Strong.

One dollar from every taco sold will go the American Red Cross Central Valley fund-raising efforts. Tioga-Sequoia also will be donating a portion of beer sales, and the Red Cross will be on hand to collect donations as well.

The event will run from 5 to 9:30 p.m. Admission is free, and children are welcome. Follow the event page for Tacos for Houston here.

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES
