The "people" in the cross represent a family or community surrounding the cross. As a primarily Christian community, we find our center point in our faith.

There are thousands of people who have donated, worked, and gone on trips with the Truck of Love. Currently, there is only one full-time employee and quite a few very generous volunteers.

Yes, quite a bit. There have been a number of TV news stories in the San Francisco Bay Area, and dozens of newspaper stories in all the local northern California papers. We are unable to put links here since the Los Altos (CA) Town Crier links are no longer valid.
