Truckers will be treated to free lunches once again when the Feed a Trucker campaign continues on Monday, October 24 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The campaign is a project of Veteran Carriers and Enmarket, Savannah’s largest convenience store chain. 

Truckers can receive their meal by pulling into the Enmarket on Pine Barren Road and Highway 80. This is one of the convenience store chain’s commercial trucking locations and one that’s ideally suited to serving big rigs serving the Georgia Ports Authority.

In 2022, over 250 free Enmarket lunches have been served to truckers so far. The ‘Feed a Trucker’ campaign started in 2021 and served 425 free lunches last year to truckers. Free lunches are served bimonthly to truckers. 

The Feed a Trucker project was initiated by Veteran Carriers to recognize the role that truckers played in keeping things going during the pandemic. During the most uncertain times at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, truckers kept gas in the pumps, food on the shelves and medicines in the pharmacies that serve the general public, and Veteran Carriers wanted to salute all truckers for their work under those conditions. They partnered with Enmarket as a good source of fresh, varied and convenient meals for truckers. Each month, they team up with a different group of volunteers to hand out the meals at the designated Enmarket.
