Growing up, I watched my parents get involved in community work—not for applause, but because helping others was simply who they were. Their kindness showed me that generosity isn’t about grand gestures or fanfare—it’s about noticing people, uncovering their needs and showing up. And then communicating to others who can continue to lend support.
When I started Simply Food Trucks, I envisioned creating culinary experiences with delicious food and colorful trucks. But I also wanted to build something bigger—a way to connect, give back, and bring joy.
As the ancient wisdom from "Pirkei Avot" reminds us: "It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you at liberty to neglect it."
That's how Simply Giving came to life: a mission to share what we have and to serve with heart. Turns out, giving feels just as good as eating great food (maybe even better).
