Fork Real Community Café Launches Food Truck Fundraiser

Fork Real Community Cafe is kicking off a fundraiser to bring real food and real conversation to the streets of Rapid City. We are raising funds for a food truck and seeking help from the public to raise $30,000 in 30 days, starting March 1st to make this happen.

Since 2016, Fork Real Community Cafe has been on a mission of building community through food and conversation with a “pay-what-you-can” cafe concept. With strong community support, we’ve been able to provide more than 13,300 meals to families in need.

To expand our community outreach, we believe going mobile is a unique and exciting way to do just that. Your support is the key to helping our community in reducing hunger and improve food security.

With a donation of $500 - $1,000, we have the chance to quickly achieve our goal so that we can get our food truck ready in time for summer events like Family Food Truck Night, Hills Alive, and more. Everyone that donates $1,000 or more, will also have a chance to win a private food truck event with a few of their friends.

“We are so excited to get out into the community in a fun new way and to offer pay-what-you-can options throughout town. There are people in our community that may not be able to make it to our physical location, but with this food truck, we can come to them.” Shared Rhonda Pearcy, founder of Fork Real Community Café.

Anyone looking to get involved and contribute can do so by visiting our donation page, donating to the form on this page, or by mailing a check to 324 St Joseph St, Rapid City, SD. Be sure to add “Food Truck” in the memo. Individuals can also stop by the cafe during the month of March and take a photo inside our “life-size” food truck.
