ROGUE FOOD UNITES

In non disaster times, the rfu food truck program is designed to increase visibility and awareness of the work rfu does. We do this through serving thoughtfully produced meals made from regionally sourced organic ingredients at community events across the rogue valley. This offers the community an opportunity to support rfu's disaster preparedness efforts and the neighbors unite no cost, no barrier farmers market, all while also enjoying a healthy meal. This program increases rfu's purchasing power with local and regional producers while supporting the development of a robust local food system. Relationships with allied organizations and cultural institutions will be strengthened due to the continued partnerships. In the event of a local disaster, rfu's food truck has the ability to provide immediate response through cooking hot meals for impacted communities. If a local chef or restaurant loses their business due to disaster, the food truck can provide a space to cook for relief efforts and help keep revenue coming into their small business.
