LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Truck drivers are some of the country's unsung heroes as they work non-stop to deliver supplies.
A Fire Department in Little Rock has opened their doors to make sure they have a place to get food on their routes.
Quail Creek Fire Department Chief James Church shared a Facebook post on Saturday, letting the community know they will be providing a hot meal for truckers at no cost. The post now has over 7,000 shares.
The department said its been on the hearts to help truckers as they haul necessities across the country.
When they heard some truck stops are no longer able to serve food, they knew exactly how they could help.
“I asked the guys if we wanted to go buy some stuff and start cookin’ for ‘em and we did so,” Church said.
Their main focus is truck drivers, but they say they won’t turn anyone away who’s in need of food.
Their station is on 145th Street in Little Rock.
“Places like Texas Roadhouse and other places are giving them food, but they’re saying they don’t have a place to park. We have a large parking lot with a side road that’s pretty large. We have an industrial area around there that has 18-wheeler traffic quite often.”
If you’d like to help out with their efforts you can contact Chief Church on Facebook.

Good for them.
Hopefully, none of the firemen are infected.
McDonald’s is now bringing out sack meals to truckers who can’t fit in the drive thru.
I just heard on the evening news that McDonalds is providing curbside service for truck drivers.
How sweet!
Angels in disguise.
There’s no knowing if anyone you come in contact with is infected.
The truckers are just as likely to get it from the local McD’s as the fire station, or maybe more likely.
Yes, and the reason I’m not going to get take out.
Truckers shouldn’t either. Pack a small fridge or ice chest with food before they leave home. Canned goods will heat on the engine. A pee bottle works for men. A poop can works for everyone.
Yup, it’s occurred to me that they can pack lunches and meals just like we do when we travel.
I am on a restricted diet because of food allergies and mr. mm is for kidney stones. So whenever we travel, I pack our food in a cooler and we eat out of there, outside, at rest stops.
