Omaha chef Jeremy McCoy dreamed of sharing his love of cooking with as many people as possible by owning a food truck. Recently, as a street vendor, he offered an Omaha Police Lieutenant a plate of food while he was patrolling nearby. “That small act sparked a friendship and showed me how food can break down barriers and bring people together. It reminded me why I love doing this: food has the power to unite us, no matter our background." The lieutenant posted Jeremy’s GoFundMe, and the fundraiser brought in enough that Jeremy will soon be able to launch his dream. “It brought a lot of tears to my eyes, but it still hasn’t sunken in that I’m going to have a food truck,” he said.
