The Honda Grand Prix (indy car racing) is where Uhuru Foods holds its largest fundraising food booth of the year. We prepare, cook and sell delicious Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, italian sausages with grilled onions and peppers, hot french fries and ice cold drinks. Our booth is extremely popular and we need over 50 volunteers!

WHY VOLUNTEER?  All proceeds benefit the programs of the African People’s Education and Defense Fund, addressing the grave disparities faced by the Black community and creating programs and institutions for community self-reliance. This year, APEDF is outfitting the community center with a community commercial kitchen to build economic development, increase community commerce, and provide training. Learn more!

PERKS:  All volunteers enjoy a free meal from our booth and after your shift, you are free to stay and watch the races (tickets are normally $45 and up)!
