Advocacy and Empowerment
The Indianapolis Food Truck Association empowers local food truck businesses in two unique and important ways.
First, INDFTA ensures that our vendors are opened to a world of new business opportunities through event catering and INDFTA was founded by Ben Goldberg, a former food truck owner who experienced first-hand how challenging it can be to rely solely on fickle street sales, our association is designed to ensure our vendors stay relevant and busy year-round through these catering opportunities that, in turn, empower our members to INDFTA spends a significant amount of time and resources lobbying the city and state government in order to represent the best interests of our members, as well as the food truck industry at large.
