Taco Bell Foundation donates $32,110 to Oxford youth programs

The Taco Bell Foundation presented a $32,110 donation to support local youth and expand career workforce readiness programs through the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi, benefiting the LOU Barksdale Club in Oxford, according to the City of Oxford.

The donation is more than $7,300 higher than the foundation’s investment last year. The City of Oxford said the funding is supported by customers who choose to round up their purchases at local Taco Bell restaurants, creating opportunities for Oxford’s next generation.

Last August, the foundation awarded a $24,800 community grant to the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi, also directly benefiting the LOU Barksdale Club.
