Each year, Utah Community Action is one of five local non-profits who “compete” to sell tickets to this fun family event. Guests purchase tickets from the charity of their choice, then use those tickets to visit over 30 food trucks from the Food Truck league for delicious dishes.
A portion of each ticket is donated to the nonprofit, and the food truck keeps the remainder. At the end of the event, one nonprofit and one food truck will be declared the winner. Attendees also enjoy live music and a beer garden – last year’s event attracted over 10,000 people!
Sponsorship opportunities are available for this event – please contact Event Coordinator Avani Patel for details: avani.patel@utahca.org.
