Tacos for Tuscaloosa

I have two sisters that live in Alabama and although they were not personally effected by the storm, many of their friends were. What do you do so far away?

How can you TEACH your children about the devastation and at the same time HELP those in need?
My youngest child reminded me that day that it was “TACO TUESDAY” and the idea hit.
We could host a TACO TUESDAY for TUSCALOOSA at our school and raise money for those who were effected by the storm.

It was such a success that we raised $1,000.00! God is good…all the time, even in the storms of life.
Please download this TACO FOR TUSCALOOSA LOGO I designed if you want to host a TACO TUESDAY!

    Oh sweet prescious Sister!! I just am overwhelmed by the video!
    Tears flowing again! I told our minister about “taco tuesday for tuscaloosa” and she wants to show congregation. Thank you for all your effort, time, money …. God is so smiling and what you and your family/friends/school have done! I really just don’t know how to express in words how I’m feeling right now…can’t wait to hug your neck and tell you in person “I love you Annie and thank you for ALL you’ve done to help our city!”
