Monthly Friday Food Truck Fests Set to Raise Funds for Walnut Valley Ed Foundation

Gourmet food trucks are set to cruise into town the first Friday of every month to help raise funds for the Walnut Valley Educational Foundation.

Starting Friday, the favorites of foodies will pull into the lot at the Walnut Valley Unified School District parking lot at 880 S. Lemon Avenue for the monthly Family Wheel Food Fests, according to a news release.

The events will run from 5:30 to 9 p.m. and feature some of the most requested gourmet food trucks in Southern California.

The foundation supports students, teachers, and the district by raising funds for grants for classroom projects, supplies, and field trips.

The list of confirmed trucks for Friday include Lobsta Truck,  Piaggio Gourmet on Wheels, White Rabbit,  and the local favorite, Slummin’ Gourmet with desserts from My Delight Cupcakery.

“Foodies or people who want to check out the popular trucks without the hassle of larger events, should mark their calendar and make this their family monthly night out. The Walnut Valley Educational Foundations WHEEL FOOD FEST will be a great family and community event.  With the success of our events in the past, we decided to make it monthly,” Vice President of Fundraising for the Foundation and WVUSD School Board Member Cindy Ruiz said in a statement.

Entry to the event and parking is free. Organizers plan to benefit the Walnut Valley Food Bank by collecting or boxed food items from attendees. Feel free to bring one to donate.

Outside food, beverages, alcohol, and pets are prohibited.
