Phillip Gardner: Danville Public Schools
Show Notes

Today is a rewind episode where I talk with Phillip Gardner, Director of Child Nutrition Services for Danville Public Schools.

The pandemic has changed a lot about school, including the guarantee of a meal for many students across the country during the school year. According to the USDA at the time of the original release last year 22 million children in the US receive free or reduced lunch. This number is possibly higher given our current circumstances. More schools have decided to use their buses as a way to deliver lunches to students while schools are virtually or remote learning. This episode is dedicated to a school system with a food truck at their disposal to serve not only students but the community as well.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve  learned a lot about what makes a good food truck stand out among the rest. I took 8 of those key concepts and created a book where I could have curbside conversations with each of you about them. This book  is not only digestible and not designed to overwhelm you, but also propels you into action. You can purchase Before You Launch A Food Truck TODAY at TheFoodTruckScholar.com/shop in paperback and ebook format as well as on Amazon.
