Food trucks are great because they can go anywhere.

But that also means they could be anywhere, at any time. Which raises the question: What’s the best way to find one?

Last summer, BASD was approached by the Cathedral Church of the Nativity on Wyandotte Street in Bethlehem to create a food pantry at the school at 1330 Church St.

As a result, the two entities formed a pact called the Fountain Hill Community Grocery Partnership, whose tasks are to pursue funding and make the idea become reality.

Monday night’s action enables the FHCGP to transform previously unused space at the elementary school to build a food pantry, which would be done at the partnership’s expense. The food pantry’s operation would be independent from the school.
