• The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City is working with food trucks to provide free hot meals to areas of the city hit hard by Sandy. You can donate to the fund here.
• Like Sunnyvale, the City of Mountain View is studying the food truck issue. Go right now and take their survey to let your voice be heard.
