When another arrangement fell through at the last minute, Humanitees and Grind showed up and showed out for our team.

They came through clutch to make sure our staff and volunteers had the shirts they needed and that Hearthara was ready to walk into the Chattanooga World Food Truck Festival looking like the team we have worked so hard to become.

That kind of support means more than simply printing shirts. It means seeing a need, stepping in without hesitation, and making sure the people working behind the scenes feel valued and represented.

A huge thank you to Humanitees and Grind for taking care of our people and helping us cross one more major item off the list when it mattered most. We are incredibly grateful to have community partners who truly understand what it means to show up.

Chattanooga World Food Truck Festival, we are officially ready for you! 🔥

Meet your next Chattanooga World Food Truck Festival food truck South Side Soda & Grill

Katoura and Michael Hyatt did not spend years waiting for the perfect moment to start South Side Soda & Grill. An idea for a dirty soda tent caught their attention, and seven days later they were in business.
