Advocacy
By partnering with local mobile vendors, The Chicago Food Truck Association helps to grow our members’ local businesses and to share their cuisine with people all over the greater Chicago area.

We bridge the gap, connecting our vendors with local event planners and bringing high-quality local meals straight to your door. By providing a resource for event planners, we ensure that all of our members stay relevant, busy, and successful year-round, even when the weather isn’t accomodating for street sales!
