SOUDAN- The Breitung Police Department, with help from lots of family and friends, sponsored their third annual Tacos with Cops fundraiser on Oct. 5.
Authentic Mexican tacos with all the fixings were served, with food prepared by Breitung Police Chief Dan Reing’s wife Ivette, with help from their extended family.
The Breitung Community Center had a line already formed before the food was even ready to be served, and a steady stream of lunch-goers came in all afternoon.
“This is Ivette’s secret family recipe,” said Dan, who said the taco filling was slow-roasted beef with special seasonings. The meal also included refried beans and rice.
The meal was by freewill donation. There were also basket raffles and a 50/50 raffle. All the funds raised are used for community outreach and youth programming done by the department, including educational programs done at the elementary and charter high school in Tower.
