This weekend offers a time to get food to fill your belly, and to give food to fill the tummies of others in need, at Feed the Soul, a Wahiawa community food drive and food truck rally staged by ALEA Bridge.

The community group provides direct services to the homeless and at-risk in Wahiawa and neighboring areas.

“We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization, committed to community outreach and connecting those in need with the resources and services required to rebuild a life of hope, purpose and success,” said Phil Acosta, ALEA Bridge president.

Feed the Soul is the group’s first food drive and food truck rally. It will take place Saturday in front of Kaala Elementary School.

“We want to ensure that the community comes out in full force to help us make it a successful event,” Acosta said.

More than 30 food trucks and other vendors will attend the afternoon-to-evening event, offering food, produce, apparel, craft and plant sales.

Haitian, Mediterranean and Puerto Rican food will be among the cuisines available for purchase, in addition to favorite typical local food and shave ice.

Food vendors include Crazy Corn, Da Bolalohan BBQ Grill, Delice Crepes, Dick’s Lechon, Hawaiian Twisted Tater, Shaka Shrimp, Sweet & Sassy Babycakes, Tristan’s shave ice, Uncle’s Handmade Ice Cream and What Is Dough, to name a handful.

Those who bring nonperishable food items or who participate in the group’s “Donate a Meal” program will be entered into a raffle prize drawing.

The event includes musical performances by Les Harris, Steph and Steve Kamanawa, the Voices of New Life and Ivory City, which recently opened for the Cure; as well as Zumba and taekwondo demonstrations.

ALEA Bridge was formed in January and has staged several events, termed joint outreach engagements, serving meals; collecting donations of food, clothing, personal hygiene and household items; picking up trash amid homeless encampments; and raising funds.

“Our organization’s ultimate goal is to break the cycle and reverse the trend of homelessness, and to share our experience, successes and lessons learned with other communities throughout the state,” Acosta said.
