For many youth programs, finding activities that engage teenagers can be a challenge. Screen-free games that are fast, fun, and easy to learn can quickly turn a room full of strangers into a group laughing together. The popular card game Taco vs. Burrito delivers that energy.
Through WIN Warehouse, those games made their way to Rivers of Life Community Church and brought people together.
About the Nonprofit
Founded in 2002, Rivers of Life Community Church is a place of worship located in Granite City, Illinois. This church offers spiritual guidance, uplifting programs, and a supportive environment for individuals and families. With a focus on love, fellowship, and service, it aims to enrich the lives of its members and the surrounding community.
How Taco vs. Burrito Comes Into Play
The company Hot Taco partners with WIN Warehouse to donate returned Taco vs. Burrito card games that could not be resold because they were opened. Instead of ending up in a landfill or circulating through secondary markets like eBay, these games are now being placed directly into the hands of nonprofit organizations that serve children and their families.
Toys for Hundreds of Kids
Denise Loness, Youth Pastor at Rivers of Life Community Church, said, “Every year, we do a big Christmas toy giveaway. We have about 400 kids come through and get toys. For the 2025 holiday season, we were able to find a lot of Taco vs. Burrito games through WIN at an affordable cost, so we got as many as we could.”
The event includes activity tables specifically for teenagers. “We put Taco vs. Burrito games out on the teen tables, and they loved them,” Loness added. “They picked them up as soon as possible. It was amazing.”
