​With all that is currently happening with Coronavirus and the uncertainty moving forward the food truck industry is reeling as people stay home from work/school/everyday activities and large gatherings are postponed.  We as an industry are coming out of our slowest time of year in winter into typically one of our busiest, the Spring festival season which has a tremendous amount of uncertainty right now.  Many of the trucks in our event are small family businesses that rely on their trucks as their family’s sole source of income as well as the people they employ.  There is a lot of talk about bars, restaurants and retail shops losing tremendous amounts of revenue and though not mentioned food trucks are definitely in the same category.  Whether a truck is out serving or idle there is overhead that needs to be covered such as parking, commissary space, both liability and vehicle insurance as well as utilities including phone and internet access which can be upwards of $2000 per month and this does not include any income for the owner or people they employ to keep their households going.
 
Just like I am sure you have heard buying a gift card now for later use in restaurants and retail shops will help them weather this storm many food trucks have that option as well.   Your support would greatly appreciated during these trying times.
