“Today, Tally Mac Shack has nearly 30 employees, with multiple trucks and locations and even has a concession stand at FSU’s football stadium.
 
“Tally Mac Shack has emphasized community service since its inception, partnering with local agencies and organizations including Hurricane Michael relief, the Down Syndrome Association of Florida, the Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Cancer Center, and the Kearney Center for the homeless. 
 
“During their summer non-profit program, they support one non-profit per week by donating a portion of their profits and providing a free visit from their food truck.  
 
“Additionally, they recently became an official On Job Training partner with Leon High School’s culinary program that offers mentorship to local students. 
 
“They have been recognized for their service as the inaugural winner of the Capital City Youth Services’ “All in Tally Award” and were honored five times as Tallahassee’s best food truck.
 
“Congratulations to the entire team at Tally Mac Shack. I look forward to seeing your continued success and engagement with the Tallahassee community.”
