April 30, 2009
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Operation Love Center in Boise, Idaho, was surprised with a toy donation fromTacoTime. In early March, the donation center, which collects food, clothing and other items for families in need, received 3,150 children toys from the quick-service Mexican food concept.
TacoTime donated their "Fiesta Freights," which are paper build-a-train toys included in the children'sFiesta Friendsmeal bags from January to March 2009. The Fiesta Freight toys were recently honored with a 2009 silver ADDY Award from the Kansas City Ad Club.
"TacoTime has been a part of the Boise community for 41 years. We feel that by supporting neighborhood charities, we're able to give back to a community that has supported us for so long," said Kevin Gingrich, president of TacoTime. "And because TacoTime is a family restaurant with so many locations within the Boise area, donating to the Operation Love Center was a natural fit."
