Thats right. By pairing the quality of Chicago restaurants and mobility that food trucks provide and your support, we can reduce food waste and feed those who need it.
We have been granted 501C Status and are now waiting for our tax exempt status. While we might be a young non-profit, we're growing like crazy!

WHY?
1 OF 6 CHICAGOANS
FACE HUNGER EVERY
DAY
THAT MEANS SOMEONE ON YOUR BLOCK
IS SUFFERING FROM HUNGER
IT COULD BE YOUR
NEIGHBOR

WHAT HUNGER LOOKS LIKE
37% are children under 18
9% are children under 5
47% of households say they
have to choose between
paying for food and utilities
44% report choosing between
paying for food and rent or
mortgage
10. 10
IT’S POSSIBLE
We Squander from farm to fork more than
40% of all food produced in America
uneaten, according to research by former
University of Arizona anthropologist
Timothy Jones. That amounts to more
than 29 million tons of food waste each
year, or enough to fill the Rose Bowl every
three days. Nationwide, food scraps make
up 17 percent of what we send to landfills.
