Vineyard Food Truck
What it is
This brand new initiative aims to develop & implement a business plan for a lunch truck that serves locally-sourced, healthy foods. This triple-bottom line business will aim to foster economic development, offer job training & business skills to young people (16-22) in our community, provide nutrition education within our communities, and attain economic & environmental sustainability.
Why We're Doing It
In John 10:10, Jesus says that he came so that people would have "rich and satisfying lives." (NLT). This is key to some of our biggest dreams for our church: looking for opportunities to invest our resources to live out & demonstrate this element of Jesus' mission. That's why we talk about making our great city even better and dream about becoming one of the best neighbors that Philly's ever had. So the Vineyard Food Truck is a practical step towards that dream.
