THE FACTS
-Food4Good is a 501(c)3 that combines revenue from food truck sales events and traditional fundraising to serve free and "pay what you can" healthy meals (no questions asked) Monday through Thursday in Providence neighborhoods that are "food insecure"
-The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods or uncertain ability to acquire these foods (Source: rihealthcarematters.org)
-In 2014, 21.8% of Providence County children were food insecure (Source: rihealthcarematters.org)
-In the first 6 months of operation, Food4Good has given away approximately 5,000 free and "pay what you can" healthy meals
-Food 4 Good’s goal is to provide 20,000 free meals from our mobile soup kitchen in the first year open
-Food4Good is a lean operation; Julius is our chef, truck driver, server, public speaker, grant writer, founder, and executive director
HOW YOU CAN HELP
-Donate: At this early stage, Food4Good is still seeking funding to help us expand our revenue generating food truck activity, especially for paid p/t staff
-Donate: Food4Good spends about $500/month on paper products, containers, and utensils to serve our free meals
-Donate: Our truck is not new and needs regular mechanical maintenance. Buy us a tire!
-Regift: Do you have gas cards we can use to get to our sites?
-Operations: Not exciting but where the rubber meats the road. Are you an experienced fundraiser? Grant writer?
-We need a van: Food4Good can do more revenue generating events with a 2nd vehicle. We get lots of requests to cater events but we need to truck to distribute free meals, Catering jobs could be delivered by van.
-Food: We receive a lot of food donations but more is better. Please contact us first to see what we need!
