✨ Vegan Chef Challenge – Food Truck Pop-Up! 🚚🌿
As part of our Vegan Chef Challenge, we’re making our way around the Rockford area—one beautiful, delicious stop at a time.
This time… we’re featuring Wehpah Food Truck 🌺✨
A vibrant Puerto Rican food truck bringing bold flavor and heart to the community.
VCC entree is a Puerto Rican Rice Bowl with fried plantains, Puerto Rican sweet bread, avocado, and Puerto Rican rice. A delicious dish! It’s called “All Flavors, No Meat.” How about that.
Make sure you introduce yourself to Christina, Wehpah’s owner and Veronica, Christina’s assistant.
This is Wehpah’s 3rd year as part of our Chef challenge and we’re glad to support them this year too!
Christina said that there’s other food trucks there that would likely offer a vegan options, including a Filipino truck that has a vegan lumpia.
📍 Location: The Food Park across the street from Nunzios on N. 2nd, Loves Park, IL
🕒 Time: 1pm (weather permitting)
WehPah is open this Friday and Saturday, 5/22 and 5/23 from 11am to 5pm and 4pm to 8 pm. Check out their Facebook page for updates on days, times, and locations.
Note: The actual truck won’t there, instead look for the Food Shack.
🌿 Vibe: Spontaneous, flavorful, and fun—come as you are and enjoy something special together
This challenge is simple:
✨ Try the places
✨ Taste what’s possible
✨ Support local
✨ Have fun
There’s no need to “keep up” or attend everything—join in however it feels good to you. This isn’t about replacing your own visits… it’s about adding a little shared experience along the way.
And sometimes healing, connection, and compassion look like gathering around a food truck, trying something new, and savoring the moment together. 💛
We’ll see you there 🌿
