Food truck coming Sunday

[Kru...@aol.com]

Hi everyone,

 

We have a food truck coming down from CT Sunday morning (early - 7:30ish) to serve 700 breakfast sandwiches.  Carol has been great at providing me with info.  The learning curve is huge when you are not from the area.  Thanks Carol!  A couple questions:

 

1.)  Anyone have a great location for a truck.  All we need is a spot. We will have all supplies and cook on site. Perhaps an area that can't easily access meals another way? 

 

2.) Right now, all the funds are being donated and we are having small businesses supply us with some donations as well.  However, I would love to provide even more food if possible.  As I walked through CostCo today, I realized I have access to bulk supplies of lots of stuff that CostCo or other big stores may want to donate; however, I know they will want a tax deduction, and we are not a 501c group, just a couple of people trying to help.  Are any of you part of a group that does have tax-exempt charity status that would be able to a.) provide the letter for tax deductions, and then b) officially receive the supplies which we could then  distribute through the truck.  It just seems we could give everyone so much more food that way.  Carol did direct us to apply for a grant through the mayor's office for food trucks, but we don't know if we will get it because we are licensed in CT not in NYC.

 

 

Thanks everyone.  Hope you were able to feed a good number today.  I know the situation was desparate earlier, but it looked like it was picking up.  Starting next week, I also plan on delivering trays of hot food to kitchens here, but one thing at a time!

 

Blessings!
