Good eats for a good cause: The Bunker food truck is back

The Bunker’s Industrial Eats food truck is open in full swing this year, continuing their tradition of hosting a fundraiser lunch on The Bunker’s parking lot. We spoke to The Bunker's executive director Kevin Hildebrand last Thursday (May 22), before the lunch rush came by, and he noted the longevity of this fundraiser: “This is something we’ve been doing for a lot of years, on Thursdays over lunch”.  The lunches support the work of The Bunker Youth Drop-in Centre programs.
