Thank You!

The Munchy Mobile is getting ready for just a few very important dates this year.  And the first one is my PASSION! – Feeding the Homeless!  We have secured a date of Saturday, August 20th to serve dinner at this AMAZING shelter.  A few more meetings and I will have an exact time and what we will need as far as help goes.

The people who work at “Friends of the Homeless” shelter on Worthington Street, are some of the most amazing people you will ever get the chance to meet, only to be shadowed by the shelters resident’s.  It truly is Food for the Soul! 

We are planning to feed around 200 people that evening.  That is going to take some man power.  So, if you would like to help, please use the “CONTACT US” page on the website.  If you would like to make a donation to be used for this event, please use the DONATE button below.  If there is any surplus of funds, 100% will be donated to the FOH shelter. 

From the BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU!  This cause is the thing that keeps me going, and if you have never been to the shelter before, after your first visit, you will see why.

Last year, the Munchy Mobile paid it's dues, showed up at EVERY one of the Springfield's Cityblock concerts... Dwindling attendance and all...  Rain or Shine, we honored our word. 
 
The Facts:
We were told we would be the ONLY one selling burgers and dogs, found out that wasn't the case. 
We were told we would be next to the parking lot that would be filled with bikers - No Bikers in the lot.
We were told we would be right next to the beer tent, we were not.
We were told that no other food vendors would be added to the BIG finale, not true. Food vendors were added. 
We showed up every night, on time, honored our word and contract.
We provided great food at a VERY low price!  - TRUE
We said we would donate ALL of our tips tot he FRIENDS OF THE HOMELESS - TRUE $317.85 to be exact!

So, when you go to the concerts this year, if you go, bring more than $5.  Because, and not by choice, the Five Buck Truck will not be there.  Instead of $5 buying you a Burger or 2 Hot Dogs, PLUS Tater Tots, AND a Bottle of Water, it might just get you one hot dog or if you are lucky, a burger. 

We were told that another food vendor, who is also a sponsor, felt we were the reason for their low food sales last year and that is why we were not being asked back this year.  It is our understanding that this food vendor/sponsor had no intensions of selling food this year as they believe their low sales last year was due to the low attendance and not the Five Buck Truck.  I am pretty sure how the rest of this will play out.  My many years of producing Broadway Shows has honed one skill, and that's the ability to see BAD ACTING a MILE AWAY!

But sadly, the BIGGEST losers in this tragedy - Friends Of the Homeless!

Today we presented Sarah Tanner and Gwen Burke from Friends of the Homeless with the $317.85 check from the tip jar this season.  We would like to thank all of our patrons who donated.  100% of our tips go to the Friend of the Homeless and you were all so very giving.  Thank you again and we look forward to seeing all of you in the Spring.  Have a Safe and Happy New Year.  Please check out other ways you can help by clicking on the FOH logo below.
