El Olivo Mexican Restaurant Fights Hunger with Free Kids’ Meals
By Zee Zamora
Highlighting the best of our hometown is more important now than ever, and as someone who loves sharing positive stories about Winter Haven, it’s an honor to tell the tale of El Olivo Mexican Restaurant’s recent good deed. Their commitment to our community proves that local businesses can make a real difference through compassion and action.
In response to tough times and disruptions in benefits, El Olivo Mexican Restaurant has launched a heartfelt initiative: free meals for children in need. Their owners announced, “During this difficult time, no child should go hungry. We are offering FREE Kids’ Meals to all children in our community who need them.” Families can bring their children—age 12 and under—each day to choose from a special Kids’ Menu, whether for dine-in or to-go. No purchase is necessary; just a SNAP card and the child’s presence are required.
El Olivo’s offer, available daily until SNAP benefits are restored, is more than a kind gesture; it’s a challenge for other local businesses to step up and support Winter Haven families. The restaurant’s caring approach embodies the spirit of #WinterHavenStrong and has already inspired wider community involvement.
As a writer and resident, it’s my goal to celebrate businesses like El Olivo that bring hope to our neighbors. Positivity and generosity are contagious, and stories like this show how each act of kindness makes Winter Haven a better place for all. To learn more, visit El Olivo at 223 W Central Ave or call (863) 293-5885.

Here’s hoping more businesses follow El Olivo’s lead, making our town an even better place for everyone.
