Visit Concord, the city’s tourism bureau, has teamed up with the restaurants on the Concord Taco Trail to deliver tortilla-wrapped thanks to nonprofit staffs and volunteers.
“These organizations care for our community year-round, and this is our way of caring for them,” said Beth Javens, executive director of Visit Concord, after the Thanksgiving-week program wrapped up. “It’s a small gesture that reminds them they’re valued.”
Mercado del Sol, located at 1450 Monument Blvd., brought meals to the White Pony Express, a food recovery program whose volunteers deliver surplus, high-quality food to organizations that serve people in need.
Tortilleria El Molino, at 1500 Monument Blvd., supplied a taco meal break for the emergency room nurses at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek.
Los Montanas Supermarket brought a meal of thanks to the Monument Crisis Center. The market has two stores in Concord (1725 Willow Pass Road, 2691 Monument Blvd.), one in Hayward (20800 Mission Blvd.) and one in San Pablo (13901 San Pablo Ave.).
And Puesto restaurant, located in The Veranda, delivered its tacos to the employees and volunteers at the Contra Costa Humane Society.
Each year, the 40 restaurants on the Concord Taco Trail mark Hispanic Heritage Month with customer challenges and special menus.
