HARLINGEN, Texas – Students from Edna Tamayo Halfway House and Harlingen High School’s Ruben Trevino helped the Harlingen Rotary Club raise $40,000 dollars for Loaves and Fishes at an event Feb. 27, 2018.
Loaves & Fishes is one of those few organizations that cut across every ethnic, cultural and socio-economic barrier here in Harlingen Texas. Loaves and Fishes offers food, shelter, job training and placement for the city of Harlingen and surrounding areas.
The students from Tamayo House sold tickets and cooked more than 1500 lbs. of shrimp. People at the site complimented the youth for their contributions, saying "We would not have done this in one day without the students of Tamayo House."
