Last week wildfires forced the evacuation of Fort McMurray and destroyed or damaged thousands of homes and other structures in the city. Many are temporarily calling Edmonton home as a result and individuals and organizations all across our community have stepped up over the last week to help. Tonight the local food truck community had an opportunity to help in our own unique way!
Northlands planned an outdoor BBQ for evacuees registered at the Edmonton Reception Centre and they reached out to us for some assistance cooking French fries. We put the call out to all the food trucks and very quickly had twelve that stepped up to offer their deep fryers and time:
- Casa12doce
- Mr. Chimi Churri
- Explore India
- The Hop
- Incredible Edibles
- La Mar Food Truck
- The Mini Donut King
- Moose on the Run
- Sculpt Foods
- Smokehouse BBQ
- Soner’s Donair
- Street Eats
Throughout the evening guests had the opportunity to get outside and enjoy piping hot French fries from those trucks. We’re thrilled to have played even a small part in helping displaced Fort McMurray residents feel more comfortable during their time here in Edmonton.
Thanks again to the twelve trucks that came out tonight to help!
