In light of recent events, we will no longer be collecting donations for a food truck at this time, but instead, will be focusing our donation energy to Hurricane Helene Recovery through our FUNdraising run and walk for kids (See the bottom of the page for details on fundraising run date, times, and tickets).
Rebus Works features products from small businesses in the West Jefferson, Asheville, and Ashe County area, and many are devastated by the hurricane. They need our help desperately.
We've updated the page so that you can find NC resources, Nationwide based resources, direct resources for businesses, and donation drop-off points for those in the Raleigh area. We are also eliminating our GoFundMe and instead creating a page dedicated to Hurricane Helene Relief efforts.
We will be updating this page with more information as we receive it.

We are teaming up with Raleigh Tamales to get a semi-permanent food truck at Rebus Works. It is our Tent to Truck campaign and we are hopeful to see this come into fruition.
We are starting with a FUNDRAISING RUN so please help us spread the word!
SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE INFO
BUT...WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT A FOOD TRUCK?
Rebus Works & Raleigh Tamales are joining forces (again!) following a successful three-year partnership to create a dynamic neighborhood food truck.
This collaborative truck will put a spotlight on a multitude of local chefs while making their dishes easily accessible to the Boylan Heights community and beyond.
We are taking this idea to our neighbors and the streets (literally) as we look to raise additional funds to purchase additional equipment and outfit a truck.
