Nacho Shack’s ‘The Bonnie Program’: A Tribute to Community Kindness and a Mother’s Legacy

Feeding Hope and Hearts: Nacho Shack’s ‘The Bonnie Program’ Bridges Community Compassion with Culinary Comfort

HAVELOCK, NC, USA, November 22, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Feeding Souls with Kindness: The Heartfelt Genesis of The Bonnie Program

In a heartwarming tribute to both family heritage and community solidarity, Damon Ebanks, founder of Nacho Shack, unveils “The Bonnie Program” in North Carolina. Named affectionately after his late mother, Yvonne “Bonnie” Ebanks, this initiative starting November 24, is more than a charitable endeavor; it’s a reflection of a family’s gratitude to a world that once was their lifeline in times of need.

A Family’s Journey of Resilience and Gratitude: The Bedrock of The Bonnie

Personal Inspiration:

Damon’s story is a poignant narrative of struggle, strength, and community support. Diagnosed with cancer about 35 years ago, his mother Yvonne was given a mere six months to live. The family was engulfed in uncertainty, spending every resource on her treatment. Remarkably, Yvonne’s cancer went into remission, a miracle that allowed her to witness the joys of Damon’s life, including the birth of his first child some 13 years later. But these years were marred by financial instability. It was during these times that the family experienced the generosity of many – help with bills, rent, and essentials. Even amidst her own battles and limited energy, Bonnie Ebanks remained a beacon of selflessness, dedicating her time and effort to helping others, embodying the spirit of giving that she instilled in her family and which now fuels the heart of The Bonnie Program. This enduring spirit of giving profoundly shaped Damon’s outlook on life and became the catalyst for The Bonnie Program.

The Bonnie: A Meal, A Message, A Memory

“The Bonnie” is not just a meal; it’s a token of shared humanity. It allows anyone facing hardships to enjoy a meal at Nacho Shack without cost. By simply requesting “The Bonnie,” guests are offered a dish of heartwarming nachos or rice bowl with signature chili, optional pulled pork, and a selection of three fresh toppings. This gesture is a nod to the kindness that buoyed Damon’s family through their toughest times, a way to pay forward the generosity they once received.

Reflections from Damon

Damon, reflecting on his journey from a marketing executive to the heart of Havelock’s culinary scene, sees Nacho Shack as more than a restaurant – it’s a platform for spreading kindness. “The Bonnie Program is my way of keeping my mother’s legacy alive. She never turned her back on anyone, despite our own struggles. This program is born from that spirit of helping hands and open hearts. It’s not just about feeding the hungry; it’s about nourishing souls with the same compassion we were once shown,” shares Damon.
