10 Spot Cares is a way for us to highlight local non-profits that work tirelessly to make our community better. These organizations work hard to improve the lives of those in tough situations. They reach into the hard places and find ways to love people well. These are non-profits that the trucks that park here have donated to and would welcome you to help with supporting them as well! We have a place to donate to these wonderful organizations at the Drink Shack during our normal hours of operation and links in the descriptions to learn more.
