Last year, LMM acquired a gently used food truck, as a social enterprise under the brand Metro45 Mobile Kitchen & Catering (Metro45). After a year of success, the food truck is in need of significant repairs and upgrades. 

Our goal is to raise $20,000 to upgrade the electrical system and equipment on the food truck, to ensure Mero45 is able to Keep on Trucking!

The food truck generates revenue to keep our program costs low and provides resources to people facing food insecurity, a variety of meal options, and a sense of dignity to our shelter residents a couple times a week.

As we bring National Workforce Development Month to a close, our students, culinary instructors and the residents of our shelters thank you for any support you can provide to help us Keep on Trucking!
