Big news, with a full heart. After an incredible journey, Seana Weaver, MA is stepping down as Executive Director of Fresh Truck.

As Annika Morgan co-founder of Fresh Truck, put it: "Seana's impact on Fresh Truck will live on—she shaped a dynamic, high-functioning team that is prepared to respond to the challenges of today with the innovative programming and deep commitment to the wellbeing of our communities that is core to Fresh Truck’s DNA." We are endlessly grateful for Seana’s vision, passion, and dedication to food access work. Her impact will continue to live on through our work for years to come.

?? What does the Fresh Truck team do when temperatures that are far below freezing prevent them from running regular markets? ?? They get #innovative and find #solutions, packing bags to bring to market stops for quick and easy pick-ups. This reduces shopper time in the cold and still allows access to high-quality, fresh produce. ?? ?? ?? ?? #FreshTruck markets will run as usual today, Friday January 17th and Saturday January 18th. We're closed in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr Day on Monday. ?? Keep your eyes on our Instagram and Facebook for updates about Tuesday and Wednesday when temperatures are expected to be very very cold again! ??

We ?? to gather over food & stories - and last Thursday let us do just that in the Fresh Truck warehouse! We're on our way to our End of Year goal - Donate today to Make a Wicked Big Impact on Fresh Truck and our neighbors! https://lnkd.in/edy6pKri
Last Thursday, magic happened. We hosted an intimate dinner at the Fresh Truck warehouse, blending friends, family, colleagues, and community members for a night of connection, delicious food, and inspiration. It was the perfect collision of the personal and professional—reminding me how incredible it is to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about making Boston a healthier, more equitable place. The night was full of highlights: ?? Nikki Auger of Taylor Brooke Winery (aka my bff) served up amazing cocktails. ???? My YW Boston LeadBoston cohort filled a table with their energy and ideas. ?? My incredible co-host brought warmth and humor, making everyone feel welcome. ???? Our Chefs - Glendy and Gates - served up pupusas and braised haddock along with stories of food & joy. ?? And my amazing Fresh Truck team worked tirelessly to make it all happen—turning our warehouse into a space that embodied the mission of Fresh Truck: providing fresh, healthy food to Boston families. Taking a moment to step back and look at the crowd, I felt overwhelmed with gratitude. The room reflected the community and values I hold closest to my heart. This dinner wasn’t just about great food and company—it was also about rallying support for Fresh Truck’s End of Year campaign. If you couldn’t join us, there’s still time to get involved! Every dollar raised helps ensure that Boston families have consistent access to fresh fruits and veggies. ?? Click here to Make a Wicked Big Impact: https://lnkd.in/eWpzQMm5 To everyone who came, who gave, and who is cheering us on—thank you. You are a part of this mission, and together, we’re making a wicked big impact. ?? #FreshTruck #FoodIsMedicine #GivingBack #CommunityMatters "We are the music makers...the dreamers of dreams...Yet we are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems." -- Arthur O'Shaughnessy, Ode
