The second annual Findlay Food Truck Festival took place on Friday, with a portion of every dollar spent going to support local mental health services. The event featured various food trucks and vendors, with the proceeds benefiting the Family Resource Center and Via Care Collective, two organizations that provide mental health and substance abuse support in the Hancock County area.

Why it matters

The food truck festival is an important community event that not only showcases local cuisine but also raises awareness and funds for critical mental health services. In a time when access to affordable mental health care is a growing concern, initiatives like this festival can make a meaningful difference in supporting the well-being of Findlay residents.

The details

The food truck festival took place along Tiffin Avenue in Findlay on Friday afternoon. Vendors and community members came together to enjoy the local flavors while also supporting the mission of the Family Resource Center and Via Care Collective. The organizations provide a range of mental health and substance abuse services, and the festival proceeds will help them continue their work in making these services more accessible and affordable for the community.
