The Mission of Al & Friends is to lift up members of the community who suffer from the most pressing challenges: hunger, homelessness, and poverty. By serving thoughtfully planned meals regularly, Al & Friends helps bring dignity to people's lives, nurtures benevolent values within our community, and invites everyone to get involved in doing something that matters.
While Dora the truck has been the iconic flagship for AL & FRIENDS Sunday Breakfast for many years, unfortunately she is not efficient or reliable. Our process of serving weekly meals has been consistently evolving into more environmentally sustainable operation over recent years. Therefore, our big idea is to replace Dora with an EV or Hybrid vehicle that will enhance our process, cut gas use, and reduce our carbon footprint, illustrating and facilitating our dedication to long-term sustainability. We have already begun receiving donations toward this goal, but we have a long way to go, as this will not be a cheap vehicle and EV/Hybrids are in high demand. This change would allow us to keep our operations going strong into the future, possibly expand our services, and show that we indeed care about the environment.
“We can survive without the delicious breakfast but it’s the community that is created here that makes me feel really welcome and I really appreciate that more than you could know.
