BURLINGTON, N.C. — Alamance-Burlington School will deliver food to its students via food trucks.
The truck was purchased with community donations. The truck arrived Monday and its maiden voyage was Tuesday.
ABSS Executive Director for Child Nutrition, Pam Bailey came up with the idea. She calls it MAC's Diner. That stands for "Meals for Alamance County." The district was already delivering meals via van, but they believe the food truck will be more inviting for kids and and families.
Bailey says she got the idea from a conference where a food truck was on display. She said she said to herself, "We need one of those in Alamance County. If i had one of those I could fed all the kids in the world in Alamance County."
The team met up at Eastlawn Elementary at 10:30 a.m. They then headed out into the nearby neighborhoods. The food truck will head out during kid's lunch breaks to feed them. She says they'll be targeting neighborhoods where kids are in need. Bailey says she'll be driving the truck herself.
