That is the message from local Hare Krishna community leader Jane Beecroft, who is leading the effort to bring nutritious, low-cost food to local people. The focus of the Krishna Kai food truck is on ensuring no-one goes hungry and on caring about the wellbeing of people. Ms Beecroft said the Krishna Kai food truck had been very positively received by its first customers last week, and was enjoying a lot of goodwill among the community.
