  • YCAP's Food Truck

    Launched in the Summer of 2025 with the support of YCAP's partners, YCAP's Food Truck is a strategic outreach initiative that expands access to nutritious food while directly addressing food insecurity in underserved Yonkers neighborhoods.

    The food truck’s primary hours of operation align with YCAP’s Food Pantry schedule, which occurs bi-weekly from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. During these pantry distributions, the food truck is on site to support and enhance service delivery. In addition, the food truck is utilized for special events and community occasions as needed, and it is also driven throughout the community for outreach and marketing purposes.

    Information about the food truck, including locations, schedules, and upcoming events, can be found here on our website. This ensures community members have access to timely and accurate updates.

    The food truck is staffed with a designated driver and an assigned chef, who prepares meals and serves community members directly. The food provided consists of items sourced from YCAP’s Food Pantry, prepared in a way that is accessible and culturally appropriate.

    Beyond food distribution, the food truck serves an educational and outreach purpose. It is used to educate the community on how to prepare and utilize the various foods distributed through YCAP’s pantry, while also sharing information about pantry hours, pantry location, and the range of services offered by YCAP.
