Our Fresh Truck mobile markets are a food justice program designed to use re-imagined vehicles to increase access to fresh food in traditionally marginalized communities. By bringing the shopping experience closer to people, we can, in turn, provide more opportunities for households to use SNAP/HIP benefits.

During these weekly mobile markets, Fresh Truck staff and volunteers set up to run a dignified shopping experience for communities to have the option of selecting from a variety of quality fruits and vegetables at affordable prices!

As a volunteer, you will directly support the Fresh Truck Mobile Markets by:

  • Filling and bagging shopper orders
  • Greeting & handing out tickets
  • Helping customers enter and exit the bus
  • Restocking shelves, breaking down cardboard boxes
  • Helping to maintain all health and safety protocols
