LOS ANGELES: A Los Angelesbas­ed Sikh-American couple run a food truck service, which dishes out 200 burritos on a daily basis, to feed the city’s homeless, it was reported. Ravi Singh and his wife Jacquie’s food trucks, called “Share A Meal”, run across various locations around Los Angeles to serve vegetarian burritos and water to the poor and needy in the area for free, The American Bazaar report said on Thursday.

Every evening, a group of volunteers belonging to different races and cultures come to “Share A Meal’s” central community kitchen to roll rice and beans into burritos, Singh said.

“Our mobile kitchens are food trucks that arrive on a regular schedule at locations on different nights around the city where homeless population­s are concentrat­ed.”

The “Share A Meal” truck meets at a different location each week day to cater to the homeless. In the fundraiser­s, guests are served a range of vegan Indian snacks such as baked “samosa chaat” platter and mango smoothie.
