Street vendors in Los Angeles County now have the opportunity to obtain a health code-compliant food cart at no cost. This initiative aims to support local entrepreneurs and enhance food safety standards within the community. The program is designed to provide vendors with the necessary tools to operate legally and hygienically, ensuring that they can serve safe and delicious food to residents and visitors alike.

By offering these free food carts, the county and city officials hope to promote economic growth and improve public health.
