Food Truck Friday 🍔🚚 Did you know DeBary has a Food Truck Ordinance designed to keep our local businesses thriving while still allowing food trucks to bring unique flavors to the community? Our ordinance ensures food trucks enhance local businesses—not compete with them. Below are a few guideline highlights: ✅ Business Tax Receipt required to operate in DeBary ⏳ 12-hour max per parcel per week to maintain balance 🔥 All food must be prepared inside the vehicle for safety & efficiency 📢 Advertising stays on the truck—no extra signage clutter 🗑 Trash receptacles required to keep our city clean By setting these standards, food trucks can support businesses, add excitement to events, and bring variety—all while respecting our brick-and-mortar establishments.

Brewing Second Chances: How Coffee Reduces Reoffending At Alleyn’s, we celebrate innovative approaches to creating positive change in society. In the Winter 2024 issue of Alleyn’s On, Melanie Huntley’s interview with Ted Rosner (Spurgeon’s 2006) delves into how coffee is being used to tackle reoffending and transform lives. Across the UK, Redemption Roasters, co-founded by Ted Rosner, is finding creative ways to support rehabilitation, making coffee an unexpected tool in this mission. From barista training to coffee roasting, the business helps former offenders gain practical skills, rebuild their confidence, and reintegrate into the community. Ted’s article sheds light on how Redemption Roasters not only reduces reoffending rates but also fosters dignity and hope, giving individuals the opportunity to rewrite their stories and contribute meaningfully to society. This isn’t just about coffee - it’s about creating pathways to a better future through understanding, opportunity, and shared purpose.
