AUGUSTA, Ga () – Enjoyable food for a worthy cause appeared Friday night. A neighborhood Little League has initiated Food Truck Friday to generate funds, enabling them to continue organizing baseball events.

Masters City Little League on Phinizy Rd. was unable to hold a spring season because of Hurricane Helene’s destruction, but the organizers aim to gather enough funds to keep the facility operational.

Dozens of food trucks and vendors filled the parking lot with tons of different options for people to choose from.

“Numerous venues were hosting them, and we thought it was an ideal spot. We possess ample space here for the food trucks to gather. This marked our fifth event, and it has been successful. I’ve witnessed instances where very few attended, yet we persevere,” expressed Patricia Clem, President of Masters City Little League.

You can also donate blood at the event. If you donate, the complex receives $10 for every blood donation, and you can get a $60 gift card.

Clem says, “Who can say anything negative about donating blood, it saves lives.”  

I spoke with two vendors who run a family-owned business. Austin Bridges, Owner of Rolling with the Food and Stacey Toole, Rolling with the Treats.

“This is great, we’re glad to be here, we look forward to meeting new faces and having a good night. Selling a few snow cones and smash burgers!” said Bridges and Toole.

Clem told me the importance of little league goes beyond the playing field.

“Keep kids coming out to play baseball. Kids need a safe place to be able to come and play. They need coaches that are coming out here to help teach kids. Our bottom line is to see these fields filled with kids playing baseball, hearing the crack of the baseball and the parents screaming for kids to run is just so wonderful,” Clem said.
