When you think about donating a vehicle to charity, cars, trucks, and RVs often come to mind. But what about a food truck? If you own a food truck that you're no longer using, or if you're considering upgrading to a new one, donating your food truck can be an incredibly impactful way to support a vital cause: providing meals for our nation's heroes.
