Carol's Kitchen's New Truck

Thanks to a generous donation by the Riverside County Supervisors, Carol's Kitchen now owns a refrigerated truck.

Carol's Kitchen receives thousands of pounds of food and beverages each year, which volunteers have picked up themselves using their own transportation. The truck will help the kitchen increase the volume of food it receives while keeping it fresh along the way. View slideshow.
