This mobile food bank accepts non-perishable food, cash, and even credit card\u00a0donations. Proceeds go right back to help\u00a0feeding\u00a0the hungry.<\/p>\n<p>When Jacquie launched the Reverse Food Truck one year ago, she didn&#8217;t realize it was going to become a full-time job.\u00a0Nevertheless, with an amazing team and tremendous help from\u00a0the community, FINNEGANS has become\u00a0a thriving and sustainable business. You can find six other reverse food trucks around the country, all inspired by the FINNEGANS model.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been hunting for your big food truck idea, listen to Jacquie&#8217;s story. Her exciting and rewarding journey\u00a0with FINNEGANS just might inspire you to create\u00a0a reverse food truck of your own.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the episode!<\/p>\n<h3>Links and resources from the show:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/finnegans.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FINNEGANS website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/foodtruckr\/25_FS025-_Reverse_Food_Trucking_with_Jacquie_From_Finnegans.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Right click and save-as to download the podcast MP3 file<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Thanks for listening, and if you enjoyed it&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #545454;\">Please leave a rating and review on iTunes, and share this podcast with your friends and family.
