Construction crews working on a major condo tower project in downtown Kelowna, B.C., have been flocking to a food truck next to the site for breakfasts and lunches for the past several months.
“Very, very good. Delicious bacon and everything on this,” said construction worker Cary Nikolaisen as he ate his breakfast sandwich during a quick break Wednesday morning.
Unlike most food truck operations which are private ventures, this one is operated by a homeless shelter.
The Gospel Mission setting up its food tuck next to the Water Street By The Park construction site, where two towers are being built.
“Operating a food truck is not far out of our way,” said Gospel Mission executive director Carmen Rempel. “We have a centralized kitchen where we are providing over 700 meals a day anyways, so adding preparation to that, it’s a complimentary service that we can turn into the social enterprise.”
