About Tacos 4 Life
Tacos 4 Life exists to End Starvation by serving amazing food to our guests and inviting them to join us in the fight to end starvation through our Meal 4 Meal program.
Tacos 4 Life believes every child deserves to run, grow, and play without feeling the agony of being hungry. In 2009, co-founders Austin & Ashton Samuelson learned that more than 18,000 children die worldwide every day due to hunger-related causes. They saw world hunger as a solvable problem, leading them to develop a brand where guests come together to create a world where starvation no longer exists.
Tacos 4 Life opened its first location in Conway, AR. in 2014. The brand partnered with Feed My Starving Children and launched its Meal-4-Meal program. For every meal purchased at a restaurant, one meal is donated to a child in need. Since its inception, Tacos 4 Life has donated over 20 million meals, expanded to multiple states, including Arkansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and will soon include Missouri. Tacos 4 Life is entering an exciting growth phase with multiple restaurants in the development pipeline throughout the Southeast. Tacos 4 Life was featured on the 2020 Restaurant Business’ Future 50 list for the second consecutive year. As the brand continues to grow, the mission to end world hunger remains the same and the guests continue to make this possible.
Tacos 4 Life is an equal opportunity employer and considers applicants for all open positions without regard to race, color, religion or belief, sex, age, citizenship status, national origin, marital status, military/veteran status, sexual orientation, genetic information, gender identity, and physical or mental disability.

Hunger Is the World's Greatest Solvable Problem
As a guest at Tacos 4 Life you have the unique and exciting opportunity to help end childhood hunger around the world. Our strategy is simple -- for every taco, bowl, salad, quesadilla, or nachos purchased a portion is donated to Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), our non-profit partner. FMSC has developed a scientifically formulated MannaPack Rice Meal that provides children with the nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy. MannaPacks are made up of rice, vitamins, soy and veggies and are sent to over 70 countries where they are distributed through schools, orphanages and CarePoints. We believe that food is the foundation that allows children to also receive medical care, education and skills training. We have seen firsthand the life-changing impact that each meal provides and the hope it brings to the children who receive it. Together we can change the world!
