Bellingham United Way’s taco fundraiser is underway; see the offerings from all 10 restaurants
Last week we announced a fun, city-wide fundraiser that involved sampling tacos from 10 Bellingham restaurants.
The Tastiest Taco 2024 Competition and Fundraiser is hosted by United Way of Whatcom County, an organization that works to “invest donations into vetted local nonprofits to create lasting change,” according to the organization’s website.
The competition and fundraiser invite participants to purchase a “Ticket to Tacos” booklet for $30, which can then we redeemed for one free taco at 10 Bellingham restaurants. The event runs from June 4 through July 16. Participants will then be able to vote for their favorite, which will be announced the week of July 21.
