Crispy’s in Rockledge will host Food Trucks for Families, a Winter Park-based array of food trucks, from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday at 604 Barnes Blvd.

“They donate 8 percent of all proceeds to a charity, and for this event we have chosen Harmony Farms,” said Crispy’s owner Chris Pascale.

Harmony Farms is the Viera therapeutic horseback riding facility for disabled individuals.

Food Trucks for Families partners with local businesses to set up monthly food truck events to benefit specific charities.

After the food truck event is over, the trucks also donate any leftover food to food banks.

“We saw it as a win-win for everyone involved,” said Pascale.

Expect to taste offerings from 12 to 14 trucks that will be situated covered wagon-style in the parking lot. Crispy’s will have an outdoor presence with beverages.

Francophiles, take note: Crispy’s is also pairing with Palm Tree Café for a six-course French dinner paired with Belgian beer from 4 to 7 p.m. April 28 at Crispy’s.

Cost is $40 each or $70 a couple. If you’re interested, better hurry with the reservations, because the event is almost sold out.
