When Tina Russo launched her food truck, So Frito, in June 2020, it was the fulfillment of a dream. But it isn't all about her love for Puerto Rican fare.

The truck, based in Nokomis, Florida is also all about giving back to the community, according to a Fox News 13 report. The truck is located at 1011 S. Tamiami Trail and open Wednesday through Sunday.

Russo, who runs the truck with her fiancée, Jorge Caraballo, offers a specials board called "Neighbors helping Neighbors," from which customers can buy tickets of pre-purchased food for those in need.

"If you are hungry you don't need to be. Please come by. Don't feel shy. We won't ask you anything. Just come by, hand us a ticket and we'll give you some food," she told the news outlet.

Each pre-paid food ticket also includes a message of hope to the recipient, such as, "Be the change you wish to see."
