Taco Wednesday As Lucharitos Hosts Greenport PTO Fundraiser

GREENPORT, NY — It's Taco Wednesday at Lucharitos in Greenport as a fundraiser unfolds to benefit local schoolchildren.

The event runs from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Lucharitos on Main Street; tickets cost $15 and include a choice of three tacos — beef, chicken, pork or veggie — burrito or nachos. The child meal option includes a choice of beef tacos, or a chicken or cheese quesadilla. Call ahead takeout is available from Little Luchas' Aquebogue location.

Kim Moore-Swann, president of the Greenport PTO, said funds raised will help to meet year end expenses, including field day T-shirts for pre-K through 5th grade and field trip T-shirts for the 6th grade, as well as graduation cakes for kindergarten and 6th grade, yearbooks for the 6th grade, books for classrooms ranging from pre-K through 6th and finally, Teacher Appreciation Week.

"We need your support," she said. "Hope to see you there."

According to Marc LaMaina, owner of Lucharitos, the fundraiser was a great way to help.

"We support our local schools whenever we can. It's just how we roll out here. Most of the people that we will see today are the same ones that come in all winter long," he said. "We just try to give back what we get — tacos and love. They do a bunch of really great things for the kids of Greenport with the money they make at their other fundraising events. We're just happy to be a part of it. It's the circle of life out here."
