<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEat Good<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When we say that the customers of The Social Food Truck are eating \u201cgood,\u201d we mean they are eating healthy and balanced vegetarian meals with a focus on local and organic ingredients. The truck\u2019s recipes are inspired by the concepts of vegetarian street food and have even managed to win over customers who were skeptical of the vegetarian menu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn the beginning, the risk that people wouldn\u2019t like the veggie street food concept was real,\u201d <\/em>laughed Zoe, Communication and Fundraising Officer for ADRA in Belgium. \u201cThis is why we worked hard in making our recipes tasty and visually appealing. It seems to be working because, so far, we haven\u2019t gotten any negative feedback about the food we serve.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Regular customers seem especially fond of the Ambitious Burger, which is the food truck\u2019s signature veggie burger served with a special sauce and crispy onions. The team notes the veggie hot dog is pretty popular too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do Good<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Belgium, 1 in 5 people lives in poverty. When ADRA launched The Social Food Truck in August, it was because they recognized that they needed to \u201cdo good\u201d in a new way to meet the growing challenges of poverty-driven food insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project also aims to do good for our planet. The truck is also a zero-waste enterprise, utilizing only biodegradable materials for the food truck\u2019s packaging, and the carbon emissions of the truck are offset via agriculture projects in Belgium.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Feel Good<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Every person who purchases a meal from The Social Food Truck is taking part in the fight against hunger and encouraging sustainable practices, so feeling good goes beyond the nourishment they receive from healthy meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s important that the beneficiaries of the project also walk away from The Social Food Truck with a good feeling too, which means ADRA\u2019s team puts dignity at the forefront of their priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe food we serve is the same both in commercial and social activities,\u201d<\/em> said Zoe. \u201cThis is something that can sometimes be surprising to people, but there is no difference between the meals. We also give the opportunity to the beneficiaries to pay for their food or have it for free. They can pay however much they can afford or want to give. They don\u2019t have to, but we give them the opportunity as human beings, to pay for the food they eat. Both of those aspects are part of our notion of respect and human dignity.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The positive response hasn\u2019t just been from those who buy or receive meals from The Social Food Truck. The project led to an award for 2022\u2019s Most Innovative Non-Profit Organization for ADRA\u2019s team in Belgium!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to dream of something different,\u201d <\/em>said Zoe. \u201cNobody ever knows what the future opportunities will be and what they will look like. This project was born from some slightly crazy idea and little by little, it became reality. So don\u2019t be afraid to think outside the box!\u201d<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Providing quality food for all is the mission of The Social Food Truck, ADRA\u2019s innovative and award-winning social enterprise in Belgium.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25088,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[891,615,799,609],"tags":[1139,873],"class_list":["post-25085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-belgium","category-blog","category-europe","category-food-assistance","tag-community-outreach","tag-justice-compassion-love"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25085"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25085\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45567,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25085\/revisions\/45567"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/adra.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Belgium-Food-Truck-2_small-300x225.jpeg\")
