Specialty Food Truck Donates Dinners And Dollars To New Yorkers In Need
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- They say there's no such thing as a free lunch. But Monday — for 120,000 New Yorkers— there will be free dinners.
Italian food company Barilla will be boarding a food truck and handing out 20,000 "Meal for Meal" dinner kits in four highly-populated New York City locations, starting Monday Aug. 15. The kits will consist of a box of pasta, salad greens and olive oil and vinegar.
