Maryland fire company finds food truck events fundraising worthy

August 11, 2020

A Food Truck Sunday Funday event, hosted by the Walkersville Volunteer Fire Company, in Frederick, Maryland, was such a success the company has put two more events on the calendar.

The fire company will host the next events on Sept. 13 and Oct. 11, according to a Frederick News-Post report.

"We had seen a lot of different fire companies throughout the area starting up food truck days," Kristi Carter, Walkersville Volunteer Fire Company secretary, told the news outlet. "We were looking for different fundraising opportunities this year due to COVID and canceling our carnival and a lot of our bingos, so food trucks for us were something new and exciting that we could do and then that our help could also enjoy."

Funds raised through the food truck events will go toward the purchase of a new engine and building renovation, according to the report.
