T.A.C.O. ~ Third Avenue Charitable Organization is a monthly event
supported by many Churches and social groups around San Diego County. Our scheduled day for this charity is the
3rd Monday of each month.
Church members volunteer to serve in the First Lutheran
Church's soup kitchen, downtown San Diego at 3rd and Ash, at 3:30 PM. No cooking is involved -- all that's
needed is a friendly face and willing hands. Our group is coordinated and chaperoned. Questions or need a ride?
Call Lori Cook at 760 918-2401. Hope to see you there! Matthew 25:3
Empty Bowls for TACO - fundraising May 9, 2009
Local artisans donated handmade pottery bowls of all shapes, sizes and colors to TACO
for the Empty Bowl fundraiser on the patio of the La Jolla United Methodist Church. For a $20 donation, you could
choose one of the hundreds of bowls displayed on long tables and fill it as many times as you'd like with delicious soups
and bread donated by La Jolla restaurants. Guests get to keep the bowl as a reminder of all who
have no food. It's always a fun time and an outstanding lunch... but making a decision on just the right bowl is more difficult
than you'd think!

Thank you to Linda Stuessi's
5th and 6th grade class , pictured above, who helped serve the meal Monday evening at TACO! The
large and hungry crowd was delighted by the Halloween costumes and candy, and they were thankful for the wonderful job our
kids did of serving them.
