Our operations are back up and running, but we realize that there are so many communities that are in need of assistance and would benefit from receiving an opportunity to get a warm meal during this very difficult time. After serving thousands of meals from 16 trucks over the past two days, we have decided to continue our outreach. Today the trucks will be making their way to areas where the storm damage was more severe – the Rockaways, Staten Island and Hoboken, New Jersey. You can follow @NYCFoodtruck on Twitter or check out their recent post for additional trucks heading to the Rockaways to help.
Today between 12pm-4pm we anticipate being able to provide an additional 11 trucks to distribute 7,000 meals in three communities:
Rockaway:Beach 50th and Beach Channel Drive
- Eddies Pizza
- Cupcake Crew
- Phil’s Steak
- Milk Truck
Staten Island: Midland Avenue and Olympic Boulevard, Staten Island, NY
- Toum
- Valduccis
- Gorilla Cheese
- Coolhaus
Hoboken: Church Square Park in Hoboken.
- Big D’s Grub
- Nuchas
- Sweetery
We’re also matching all donations to the Red Cross up to $100,000, and you can earn 6 TrueBlue points for every $1 you donate. Donate here. For those traveling with us, we’ve extended fee waivers to change or cancel flights booked prior to October 28 good for a credit up to one year.
