The grant also funded a mural wrapped around the food truck to increase visibility.
State MP for Bankstown, Tania Mihailuk, who had supported the funding efforts, officially launched the freshly upgraded food truck last week.
“I am delighted to have supported Humanity Matters in funding these crucial upgrades so they can continue to provide the valuable services they offer in engaging with our youth,” she said.
