1st Annual Graduation Food Truck Fundraiser Brings Community Together

What an incredible evening at our 1st Annual Graduation Food Truck Fundraiser! 🎉🚚🍔

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support the event, as well as Crystal Nolt from the Quality Shoppe for her assistance! Thank you to Spuds, Blue Kraken BBQ, Pops Ice Cream, and The Perk Up Truck for being a part of a wonderful evening!

We loved seeing our community come together to celebrate the 2026 graduates, enjoy great food, and support opportunities for our KASD students. Events like this truly show the strength and generosity of our school community. Your support helped make the night a tremendous success!

Feedback from some community members:

I think the food truck idea was wonderful! It was very well attended, and service was quick considering the large number of people. I hope this will become a yearly event! ~Cynthia Schlegel

Kudos to the Kutztown Area School District Education Foundation! Who knew the best graduation tradition of 2026 would be food trucks in the Quality Shoppe parking lot? Watching the procession with friends, sharing dinner, and skipping the usual “Where should we eat afterwards?” debate made for a night we will always remember. Congrats to the 2026 graduates! ~Dawn Hamm

I really liked the idea of the food trucks and hope that it’s truly an annual event. I did not mind the wait for food, because it gave me time to mingle and chat with other people while waiting for our food and the procession to arrive. ~Kellene Knutson

Having food trucks at the Constitution Blvd. shopping center on graduation night was brilliant! We watched the graduation procession, then wandered down to the food trucks. It provided an opportunity to chat with friends and former students that I don’t get to see often. I hope this becomes a permanent part of our great little town’s celebration of our graduating seniors. ~Ann Dietrich

The KASD graduation procession was fun, and having the food trucks conveniently available for food orders was a fantastic idea! The food was amazing, and it was a great event! ~Donna Bailey

I thought having the food trucks available in the lot was a fantastic idea & I hope to see this become an annual event! If there was one good thing that came out of the pandemic, it was the graduation parade, and having the food trucks there this year was an added bonus! ~Chris Eckenroth
