The food truck has made stops at dozens of local hospitals during April, serving up to 500 meals at each location, according to a press release. This week it will serve at the Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, Little Company of Mary Medical Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Group - Wilshire, Cedars-Sinai Medical Group – Torrance and Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center.
