When we opened the first Taco Mayo across the street from the high school in Norman, Oklahoma, our humble goal was to feed the hungry and to make a decent living doing it. It was May 1978. Today, Taco Mayo is a burgeoning operation with franchises and company-owned stores throughout the south–central region of the United States. Recognizing that success does not come easily-especially for individuals in less fortunate circumstances-we take very seriously our responsibilities to the communities that have been so good to us. Inspired with gratitude for our success, we chose the occasion of Taco Mayo’s 20th anniversary in 1998 to establish a charitable foundation that is nurturing not only the bodies, but also the minds and spirits of people in need throughout the world. The purposes of the Garner-Stocker Foundation are simply to: Feed the minds of needy and deserving people through the promotion and award of scholarships for education. Nourish the bodies of people through the support of organizations dedicated to such purpose and by making food available to those in need. Sustain the spirits of all people through the support of churches and other ministries dedicated to the enrichment of the human spirit. We provided the seed money and the leadership to work toward these humanitarian goals. We invite you to join us as partners in this mission with a donation to the Garner-Stocker foundation.
