Miller Brothers Construction Donates to STC Food Truck

Representatives from Miller Brothers Construction presented a $5000 check to the Schuylkill Technology Center (STC) Food Truck Project.

Students from STC are working on a year-long project to convert a former Tastykake delivery truck into a fully functioning food truck. Each of the program areas at STC will participate in the project.

Progress on this project began in the spring of 2019, when Collision Repair students sanded down the body of the truck and Welding students extended the frame to accommodate the propane tanks. Auto Repair Technology Students then put in new brake lines and worked on the engine. Collision students are now installing the propane generator onto the undercarriage of the vehicle. The next step will be for Plumbing and Collision students to install the clean and grey water tanks. All plumbing supplies for this project have been donated by Antz Energy Systems of Shenandoah. Fromm Electric, of Schuylkill Haven, has pledged to donate electrical supplies.

STC has raised $42,803 in donations to fund this project, which is being conducted in conjunction with the Schuylkill Area Community Foundation.
