Vikings Table has revamped its menu items due to the pandemic.
While the food truck typically has served a hot meal with a side of fruit salad, the program has transitioned to a sandwich model that will help ensure smoother packing and transportation of the food.
Carter emphasized the utmost precautions being taken at the meal-packing facility. No more than 10 employees are at the facility at any one time, and Vikings Table is very cognizant of the delivery method in order to limit person-to-person contact as much as possible.
In addition to the meals, each bag provided by Xcel Energy will include a Vikings-themed activity or coloring page and a package of crayons. The activity pages also are available to the general public for download. The bags also will include a letter from Vikings Table that encourages young people during this time and offers reminders about the importance of nutritious food.
"The Minnesota Vikings Foundation was created to make a direct impact in our community by focusing on youth with their health and their education – so we felt a strong connection to the community at this time, and we thought we would do everything that we could to help," Carter said. "So with the support of our board, we decided to start developing different plans to execute.
"We've been super proud and enthused by our partner involvement, as well," Carter added. "It's just kind of what we are. The Minnesota Vikings Foundation is for the kids, and we wanted to keep showing up for them and making sure they still knew that we cared about them even though we couldn't physically be there."
