Escape Into Tango Charities

We're excited to welcome Will Mattingly, the Austin, TX (Zilker) leader for Tango Charities, to the conversation! 🎙️ Tango Charities is a hunger-focused nonprofit that works to feed, educate, and empower communities through healthy and nutritious food initiatives. Since officially becoming a nonprofit in 2020, the organization has continued to expand its impact, helping provide more than 7 million meals to partner organizations across the globe after more than a decade of hunger relief efforts. Before we escape into Tango Charities, Steph and Courtney dive into what it really means to show up for nonprofits. What if giving back felt less like a responsibility and more like something people genuinely wanted to be part of? Ways Tango Charities makes an Impact: Fighting Hunger Through Feed The City – Bringing communities together through volunteer meal-packing events that provide millions of meals to families, seniors, veterans, and children facing hunger. Building Community Through Service – Hosting events across dozens of cities that make giving back accessible, engaging, and community-driven. Empowering Long-Term Change – Focusing not just on feeding people today, but on educating and empowering communities for the future.
