It’s time to step up and give back
Growing up Reza and Mirna experienced childhood difficulties firsthand. Empathy for hungry, underprivileged children motivated them to act on the streets of Philadelphia.
Reza dreamed of creating a self-sustaining non-profit that would feed hungry children for decades to come. This dream gave way to an idea: Andalé on Wheels.
WHYY reported that “the broader Philadelphia metropolitan area (including the suburbs) contains nearly three-quarters of a million people struggling with hunger, a 20 percent increase over six years.” This hunger epidemic affects the lives of children in Philadelphia every day.
Not for profit organizations can be a great way for a community to mobilize around a cause, make an impact and deliver services to those in need.
Andale On Wheels aims to deliver fresh, quality food to children in need, so they can focus on being children. We want children to think about where the coolest caterpillars live or how to score that 3-pointer shot–not how they will have their stomachs filled.
We want to deliver fresh, quality food because quality matters and impacts life trajectory of our future.
Compromising quality would be compromising our mission. The food we provide at Andale on Wheels is just as fresh and delicious as the food you’ve come to love at Andalé Latino Grill.
We achieve this mission by sourcing fresh local ingredients when and where possible, and carefully preparing the food fresh daily.
Physical and nutritional nourishment are essential for development of great minds, also great minds without a clear moral compass is not the direction a society would want to go so, we use our valuable time with the children to teach them the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his way of life. Each of us has been shaped by our local community.
