My name is Joan Cheever and I am the founder of The Chow Train, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that, you might say, is your twin sister down here in San Antonio, Texas. I run “The Chow Train” which is very similar to Hunger Van — we believe in going to the people– those who are hungry and/or homeless to serve hot meals on the street and not having them come to a soup kitchen or fixed site.
Our website is: http://www.chowtrain.org
We were in the news last year, when the City of San Antonio issued a ticket (along with a $2,000 fine) saying that I was in violation of the law although they couldn’t cite exactly which law. Here’s a news article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/04/20/what-happened-when-this-feisty-woman-got-fined-2000-for-feeding-the-homeless/
Anyway, I am going to be in the NYC area on Sept. 29 and Sept. 30 and would love to meet ya’ll. Or if we can’t meet, I just wanted to reach out and make a connection.
My cell phone is 210-471-1925 and my email is [email protected].
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Joan Cheever
