About This Event
Touch-A-Truck Vehicle Application
Join us on Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 12 PM to 4 PM at the Salinas Rodeo Grounds!
In September of 2025, Coastal Kids Home Care is proud to host the 11th annual Touch-A-Truck event. What started as a small grassroots event has transformed into an eagerly anticipated community event. Since 2014, Touch-A-Truck has helped raise $355,000 in support of medically fragile children. The event includes vehicles, food trucks, music, and more. Children and adults can climb into a fire engine, explore a bulldozer, and get behind the wheel of a big rig. They can learn about CPR, build a toy truck, and enjoy carnival games all while enjoying tasty treats. The event has grown from a small grassroots effort to an eagerly anticipated community event attracting over 1,000 kids and kids at heart. And some of our most special patients have enjoyed the event year after year.
Proceeds from TOUCH-A-TRUCK have always benefited Coastal Kids Home Care--our area's only provider of in-home medical, social service, and therapy visits to children living with illness in our community.
Things to keep in mind... We love any and all vehicles and would love to have you. Please just keep in mind that the event is TOUCH-A-TRUCK. Children and children at heart are encouraged to climb on and touch vehicles that are present at the event. Please also keep in mind that kiddos are expecting to see your truck or car there. If for some reason you cannot make the event, please reach out to us immediately so that we can try and make arrangements to fill your spot.
Expectations:
1. Bring a buddy. All vehicles must have an operator with them at all time.
2. Please arrive promptly at your assigned load-in time, which will be provided closer to the event
3. Understand and accept that there will be dozens of children in your vehicle throughout the day. It is up to you to set the rules around your own vehicle for safety.
4. No smoking or alcohol allowed at the event. Thank you!
