Seattle non-profit finds food trucks to feed the homeless
For people who might be lucky to get one meal a day, a dinner on wheels is providing much-needed nutrition.
Truck of Plenty is a new Seattle-based non-profit that hires a food truck to find and feed the hungry.
“This is what we need and it's a blessing,” said Laurie Campbell, who was among the first customers at Tent City 3 under I-5 in Ravenna, Thursday.
For Campbell, and dozens of other homeless people living there, a moment of respite rolled up at dinnertime in the form of the Snout and Co. food truck.
Campers lined up and chose Cuban chicken bowls or vegetarian bowls, all paid-for by donations to Truck of Plenty, which decides which truck to book and where to send it. It cost between $400 and $500 to hire the truck to feed the tent city, said Perry Pederson, who founded Truck of Plenty.
“Regardless of their situation in life, they need to eat, and they probably will make better decisions if they have some food in their stomach,” said Pederson.
