Sigue la traducción al español.

Pablo Sanchez and Erika Castro are the owners of Gyros Planet & Taqueria in Evanston. Over the last seven months, they have been providing 110 free meals to individuals in need daily; many of the families are from the Evanston Latinx community. The restaurant just opened in March 2019 and the pandemic has really impacted them. Their business income has been reduced by 75% due to the high school, Y.O.U and districts 65 closing.

Pablo Sanchez and Erika Castro bought the restaurant, formerly known as Gyros Planet, in March 2019 and rebranded the restaurant as Gyros Planet and Taqueria. The couple has spent the last year passing out flyers and raising awareness of the new ownership. Erika has a passion for feeding the community because of her personal experience. “I lost my father when I was 12, and it was a really hard time. I saw my mom crying and crying because she didn’t have money to buy food. I had to sell my toys and everything I had and go door to door and ask for food. I don’t want those kids to feel the same way that I did.”
