Feeding Body and Soul: Help Launch the Side Street Mission Food Trailer At Side Street Mission, we believe that every meal can be a ministry. With the Lord’s guidance, we’re launching a faith-driven food trailer—a mobile kitchen that will serve Lancaster County with purpose, compassion, and flavor. “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat…” – Matthew 25:35 Let’s serve Lancaster County with love on wheels. Together, we can turn food into fellowship and trailers into testimonies.
