Direct Impact:

YOU decide where you want your donation to impact our communities!
Stock The Food Truck
Community Block Parties

​$1000 a month
100% of your direct donation will go towards purchasing food to cook & serve from the food truck. Each time we take the food truck out we cook and serve a full free meal including veggies, fruit, protein, carb and of course dessert. Those who come are able to receive more than one serving and often able to bring an additional meal, or two, home to eat at a later time. 
** Thanks to Sunrise Rotatory, we have $650 of the $1000 a month covered from May  through October 2018! ​We only need $350 each month in order to meet this need and ensure the food truck is always stocked with fresh food.

100% of your direct donation will go towards the purchase of supplemental food to be distributed at the food truck, to help offset grocery costs for those we serve.

00% of your direct donation will go towards purchasing hygiene items not covered by food stamps and that others often find themselves  in need of, or going without. We will purchase different items each month, as a way to ensure families always have the essential items needed for their households. Not all families will need the same supplies, so we will personalize items the best we can to accommodate the families needs.

  • Toilet paper
