The 20th annual IEOA Truck Light Convoy and Food Drive is this Saturday

Share

Hey Victoria, get ready to have your streets lit up by roughly 80 brilliantly-decorated trucks for the 20th year in a row!

The annual IEOA truck light convoy and food drive is back this Saturday, the very first day of December.

The convoy is a procession of local commercial trucks decorated in hundreds of Christmas lights that also helps line the shelves of the Mustard Seed Street Church & Food Bank – what’s not to love?!

The IEOA (Island Equipment Owners Association) has been collecting food for the past two weeks leading up to the event, and the past 19 light convoys gathered over 160,000 lbs of non-perishable food for local food banks.
