Food truck helps LA fire victims ’round one’
Using food truck to help LA fire victims ’round one,’ says priest; Capuchins’ outreach continues
When the recent Los Angeles fires forced the local Capuchin Franciscan friars to evacuate, they sought shelter at the Pasadena Convention Center along with hundreds of others.
There, they noticed that people were hungry — and decided to do something about it.
“It became very apparent that there was a need for food,” Capuchin Franciscan Father Christopher Iwancio, who runs the friars’ “Capuchin Family Kitchen” food truck, told OSV News. “I looked at one of our brothers … and said, ‘Hey, do you think we can get the truck going for these folks?'”
