‘Because We Can’ to feed hungry truckers at MATS

Mar 15, 2017

Updated Mar 4, 2020

A volunteer group of current and retired truck drivers will help feed hungry truckers at the Mid-America Trucking Show March 23-25 in the Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium free truck parking lot.

“Because We Can” will attend the show for the fifth year this year to serve breakfast and dinner to drivers at the show. The food will be provided for donations only, and no one will be turned away due to inability to pay.

Money raised by the group at MATS this year will be distributed between the St. Christopher Trucker Relief Fund and truckersfinalmile.org.
