Matthew 25:34-35
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in
One of the world's first homeless food trucks! The dynamic nonprofit organization, Daughters of Zion, created the Homeless Food Truck with the purpose of eliminating hunger in our communities by using the bait and switch method. The "bait" involves serving nutritious meals to homeless children and adults, while the "switch" encompasses providing services, such as job training and educational support, to the homeless individuals they feed, in order to help prevent recurring homelessness.
The original Daughters of Zion’s Homeless Food Truck is a Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van food truck with a commercially integrated kitchen that was once meant to serve food to the affluent clients of billionaire investor Marc Lore. Now, many of those same Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van food trucks are being used to serve people who could never have dreamt of affording a mobile chef delivery service. While we are currently operating throughout Shelby County, Tennessee, our plans are to expand across America to help provide no- cost meals to homeless children and adults in cities with the highest concentration of homeless children and adults.
This would not be possible without the invaluable support of Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris, Commissioner Whaley, Commissioner Wright, Commissioner Lowery, Vice Chair Caswell, Commissioner Sugarmon, Commissioner Ford, and Chairwoman Clay Bibbs, who have championed crucial homeless prevention measures and paved the way for the funding of Daughters of Zion’s first Homeless Food Truck.
Our mission is to help the homeless population we serve move from hunger to homes by providing them with crucial social services that equip them with the skills to prevent recurring homelessness.
