We are excited to share that SWAG now has a food truck! This is a huge step forward in helping us serve our community and raise funds to support our mission.
Now we need your help! We're looking for someone who would be willing to sand and paint our food truck to match our SWAG branding. As a nonprofit, we're hoping someone may be willing to donate their time and talents or provide the service at a reduced cost.
If you or someone you know has experience with sanding and painting, we'd love to hear from you! Please send us a message or tag them in the comments.
Even if you can't help directly, sharing this post could help us find the right person.
Thank you for supporting SWAG and helping us continue to serve our community.
