With a fourth season of operation underway, a major goal of the Streatery food truck is to give back to the community by providing free meals to people struggling with food insecurity during COVID-19. Streatery owner Sarah Manuel said she always has been concerned about the amount of food wasted in the country, and when COVID-19 set in, she saw people slipping into food insecurity and she decided to take action on both.
