The Lehigh Acres Community Council will be taking a look at the year ahead with plans to do more community outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of that initiative, the council is planning to host a food truck rally on Feb. 5 from noon to 7 p.m. The event will coincide with a church yard sale to be held at Faith Lutheran Church, 705 Leeland Heights Blvd., E., Lehigh Acres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Community Council President Chuck Edwards, this will be the first food truck rally held in Lehigh Acres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe plan to have at least 10 food trucks in attendance, ranging from barbecue to Latin cuisine. We have confirmed that Coasting Donuts is coming and we\u2019ll have a coffee truck next to them, and a Neapolitan pizza truck, Cuban food and Mexican, and possibly a unique pudding food truck concept,\u201d<\/em> Edwards explained. \u201d We are holding this in conjunction with the church\u2019s community yard sale, and hope with good support we can hold one at least six times a year.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards continued that this event will give residents a sample of the great cuisine found here locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cResidents get a chance to sample various foods without having to travel into town to a restaurant. Plus they get a chance to support local businesses,\u201d<\/em> Edwards said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Community Council also plans on having a booth onsite during the event where locals can learn about the grass-root organization and fill out their voter registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are trying to do more community service types of events within the community instead of just acting as a political body for the voices of the Lehigh people,\u201d<\/em> Edwards said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council held its annual elections in December of 2021. Edwards was re-elected to serve his fourth term as president and the other board members retained their previous board positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council is asking for members of the community to get involved through its membership drive this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are looking for new members who want to be involved in the community and welcome new ideas,\u201d<\/em> Edwards said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
