The Fresh Truck is looking to fill a unique volunteer opportunity at the South End Health Center that will not only assist us but make sure that our busiest stop has a seemly customer experience that creates community & healthy food culture. This weekly market stop occurs from 3-6pm in front of the South End Health Center every Friday.
Volunteers will help greet customers, bag and restock produce, cashier when necessary, translate as needed, and help clean up after the event. Get ready to meet great people, see a positive impact on community health, and take home some fruits and veggies for free!
We do not require for volunteers to stay during the entirety of the weekly market stop but are interested in having volunteers that can consistently make it on Fridays. So, if you are interested in helping out please comment and include the time frame and dates you can attend as well as the best phone number to reach you . We appreciate any help available!

Mission Statement
We are on a mission to strengthen communities by celebrating neighborhood food culture + getting healthy food to the households that need it most!
Description
It all started while Josh, our founder, was working as a health educator at the MGH Charlestown Healthcare Center. He kept hearing from his families that it was difficult to shop for healthy food - at that time, the only grocery store in the neighborhood was shutting down for a year-long renovation. The health center had no way of solving for the fact that patients didn’t have access to the food they needed to stay healthy. It was this experience that inspired Fresh Truck to rethink the traditional grocery store model, make it mobile, and bring food closer to the people who need it the most. In 2018, we expanded our efforts to address health disparities by developing Fresh Connect, a platform that makes it possible for health care providers to prescribe food as medicine. We have a big vision for the future of food and healthcare, and we are only just getting started.
