One For Mario is a communal platform that allows customers to make their donations, in person or online, and see their generosity delivered physically by food truck to various programs throughout the metroplex. Customers are also encouraged to help volunteer on "Giving Days" so a team effort is made and awareness is achieved. Whether it's sharing the stories of the people they serve or putting a smile on a child's face during a "Food Truck Fun Day", the One For Mario project is a seed that's aspiring to grow into a world of possibilities.
One For Mario started with a dream to make the homeless feel more dignified, more respected, and more human. Second chances are hard to come by but if a person is willing to make the effort, the community as a whole should be there to receive and support that person. Apart from having scheduled feeding days where OFM partners can go out and feed and interact with others personally, we strive to raise awareness on homelessness and to connect people and organizations together as resources to help them get integrated back into the community. Even if we have helped one person, that is enough to justify all of our efforts!
It's not surprising that young children in the foster care system typically go through rough childhoods. The same can be said for children suffering from illnesses or other medical conditions. In either case, the child deals with their situation as they are given, never having a choice in the matter. All we try to do is raise awareness and schedule fun "Food Truck Days" to allow these children to experience something a little lighter than the demanding routine of their every day.
Individuals aren't the only ones in need and we certainly understand that. That's why we also feature a special charity every month where your help can be given and to raise awareness for their cause. Civic roles aren't the easiest and we aim to lessen the burden they carry for their amazing, under appreciated work. Monthly charities are specially curated and are free from religious or political affiliations to keep all happy.
