A new food truck, named Peek-a-Chew, will be used to deliver items to communities across Glasgow
A charity is using a new food truck to ensure children continue to have access to healthy food.
Possibilities for Each and Every Kid (PEEK) will use its brand new van, dubbed Peek-a-chew, to deliver food to young people and families across Glasgow.
The charity had to cancel its sessions from this week as a result of the coronavirus, but has already delivered more than 150 hampers to the community.
Michaela Collins, interim chief executive of PEEK, said: “We are doing all we can to put plans in motion for our children, young people and families in the short, medium and long-term as we progress through the delay and on to the containment phase of Covid-19.
“Over the weekend, #TEAMPEEK have already delivered 150 plus emergency food and toiletries hampers and other financial support directly to children, young people and families across Glasgow who access our projects. We will be continuing to do this over the coming days and weeks.
“As the spring break programme approaches – we know our children, young people and families will be worried. However, we will be utilising our brand new mobile food truck Peek-a-Chew to deliver hot and healthy meals to children, young people and families across the city in the run up to and during the school holiday period.
“We will release venues and times over the next couple of weeks on our social media pages and through our text system. We will also be working with our local businesses and partners to help us deliver hot and healthy meals to homes during this period of time.”
