PHILADELPHIA – Carson Wentz is not shy about his faith. The star quarterback and devout Christian wears his faith on his sleeve and attributes his successes to faith in God.
And he's giving back in the Lord's name with a new food truck that will feed the hungry in the greater Philadelphia area, completely free of charge.
"Thy Kingdom Crumb" food truck was unveiled this weekend during a charity softball game put on by Wentz's AO1 Foundation.

"The idea behind it is pretty simple," Wentz said after the truck, emblazoned with the Lord's Prayer, was unveiled Friday. "We want to be able to provide free food and a whole lot of love."
The Eagles quarterback worked with his church, The Connect Church in Cherry Hill, to develop and launch the truck, which is set to officially open in August.

The truck's website says it will be at Lincoln Financial Field for every home Eagles game in 2018.
In addition to serving up free food, Wentz's truck will spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and form relationships to maximize its reach, capabilities, and impact.
"Thy Kingdom Crumb exists to demonstrate the love of God and to infuse His hope by feeding people and uplifting communities," the truck's website says.
