Community Outreach

Grab-n-Go Food Truck Dinners
Eastside Church Parking Lot | Wednesdays, 4:00-7:00 PM

Why are we hosting food trucks at Eastside?

To build community. A food truck dinner allows us to gather with church family and meet our neighbors.

To support small business. Hosting food trucks gives owners hope and business opportunities during a difficult season.

To address food insecurity. We are distributing meal vouchers to local school districts and non-profit organizations. Vouchers enable families to enjoy a meal and return a sense of dignity by taking them from the food bank line to the food truck line.

Here’s how you can be a part of the local outreach opportunity: enjoy dinner out and purchase a meal, invite friends and neighbors, assist with set-up or clean-up, and contribute to our Community Service fund to offset vouchers.

For further information about our partnership with the Washington State Food Truck Association or this outreach, email us at info@eastsidechurch.org.

We’ll see you on Wednesday for dinner!
