\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the wake of the July 4th floods that struck the Hill Country, Edgar Zamorano said he felt obligated to help in any way he could.<\/p>\n
The action taken<\/p>\n
Zamorano was working at the Bevy Hotel<\/a> in Boerne, where many Texas Department of Public Safety, or DPS, workers were staying before heading into Kerr County to help with rescue and cleanup efforts.<\/p>\n \u201cThe guys from the DPS were leaving town at 5 a.m.,\u201d Zamorano said. \u201cSo I asked them the first night if there was any way I could donate them breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n Making San Antonio\u2019s famous breakfast tacos and seeing a need for hardworking first responders to be fed, Zamorano went to Kerrville\u2014marking the beginning of Operation Taco<\/a>, his new nonprofit.<\/p>\n Read all about it<\/p>\n Now, Zamorano said he serves first responders across the entire region and is waiting to expand his operation further.<\/p>\n With the group’s TikTok<\/a> account garnering millions of views and gaining more nationwide support, Zamorano said he wants to do even more to help first responders.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought, how do I keep doing this? I\u2019ve loved every second of it,\u201d Zamorano said.<\/p>\n Mapping it out<\/p>\n He\u2019s delivered thousands of tacos to the San Antonio Police Department<\/a>, the Kerrville Fire Department, Boerne Police and more since Operation Taco began in early July.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s coordinating with police stations in the area and figuring out days and times to drop off the goods,\u201d Zamorano said.<\/p>\n Once he\u2019s approved as an official 501(c)(3), Zamorano hopes to grow his operation beyond South Central Texas in early 2026.<\/p>\n \u201cI never expected this to go from a single favor to an entire operation,\u201d Zamorano said.<\/p>\n To learn more about Operation Taco and find ways to help, visit their Facebook page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t
