FOOD TRUCK Update for TODAY - November 20th, 2012

“Understand and be confident that each of us can make a difference by caring and acting in small as well as big ways.”- Marian Wright Edelman

With that in mind, we continue to serve many people throughout Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island today. We also thank all who have made this possible, including the NYC Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and the Film Food Festival, our corporate sponsors, and our indiegogo fundraiser contributors from around the world. Hot sandwiches, burgers, soup, coffee, rice bowls, tacos, and even treats are on the menu today for the thousands of people still putting their lives back in order after Super Storm Sandy changed everything. Please help us to spread the word.

If you’re in need of help or want to volunteer:
We’ve also heard amazing requests from you on how much you want to help donate your time or resources to the effort. We’re humbled by the caring and concern of the NYC community for those in need, but also understand from our partners that there’s more to an organized relief effort than donation of time and supplies. We’d encourage those that want to lend a hand to look into the below groups and work with existing organizations to have the greatest impact.
