Taco fundraiser helps North County Rape Crisis Center

SANTA MARIA, Calif. - A group of Pioneer Valley High School Students worked with Vaqueras Taco Truck to raise $1400 for the North County Rape Crisis and Child Protection Center.

A portion of sales from the mobile restaurant parked on the 900 block of North Broadway in Santa Maria Monday night are going to the non-profit.

The PVHS SHARe Club (Safe, Healthy, Adolescent Relationships) organized the event.

"I believe the fundraiser was for a very good cause," said SHARe Vice President Idalia Bucio. “We did something good for our community, not just for ourselves.’’

Vaqueras Taco Truck owner Omar Sanchez collaborated with the student group.

“I am so proud of the SHARe Club,’’ said club advisor Angela Collins. “They worked hard, learned food service skills, and had fun raising money for the Rape Crisis and Child Protection Center. I am appreciative of Omar from Vaqueras for his very generous donation. Omar supports our schools and our community. We’ll be sure to support Vaqueras with our patronage.”
