The Mobile Meal Alliance - Food Truck Voucher Program
This program was created in response to the pandemic in 2020. The participating food trucks served over 25,000 voucher meals at 10-different locations in its first year!
In 2022, the Bellevue YMCA voucher location, served 3,202 meals!
Program Description: The Mobile Meal Alliance is a food truck meal voucher program. Organization funds donated to a church or other non profit entity are converted into food truck meal vouchers that are given to individuals and families in need of food support. Food trucks (with a current health permit, business license and proof of insurance) are then scheduled by the state food truck association to be hosted at churches, food banks or other easy to access locations. Printed meal vouchers are distributed to local non-profits (YMCA, Salvation Army, food banks, etc.) or to individuals and families in need of food support. The voucher ($12 value) contains all the information needed for people to visit a food truck and receive food without cost to them.
“I love this program because it "levels the field" for those in need and those with means. For families, it's like "going out to dinner" at a safe place, and for individuals, its just not the same as it is to grab food at a food bank - it's something more extravagant and hot. “
