Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on February 11.
Dear backers,
The Fresh Truck team would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for making the first ever Fresh Truck possible. The retrofitting is underway and Fresh Truck is on track for a spring launch!
Check out our latest video to hear from the team about the newest updates, milestones and next steps. We look forward to seeing everyone out this spring, stay tuned for more updates!
Hi everyone!!
First off, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Fresh Truck has officially surpassed its goal of $30,000 and now has the funding needed to launch this Spring! We are so excited and incredibly humbled at the support we have received over the last month and a half. We also recognize the responsibility that comes with this funding and will be sure to use each and every dollar as wisely as possible towards our mission.
Secondly, we were recently featured in a video on Boston.com! Here is the link so that you can check it out! https://vimeo.com/58916157
Lastly, we do still have 4 days left on our Kickstarter campaign. Any additional funds would be very helpful with operational expenses outside of bus acquisition and retrofitting and would also allow us to build even more features into the bus to make it more engaging and educational for families and customers. So if you know of anyone who may be interested in supporting our mission, please pass the link along!
Again, thank you SO MUCH!! None of this would have been possible without your support. We are so excited to hit the streets and start following our mission!
All love,
Fresh Truck Team
Hey everyone,
Quick update, Fresh Truck is on the front page of Northeastern's web site today! The article has been spreading like crazy through social media and the Kickstarter has gained some significant traction as a result.

We also presented at the Microsoft Nerd Center last night at MassInno's Crowdfunding event. The response was invigorating! Also, Josh decided to present in a banana suit. *picture below
As for the Kickstarter progress, we are just under 70% funded with 17 days remaining. So please continue to share our story/mission/vision with your friends/family/coworkers and help Fresh Truck hit the streets and improve food access across Boston neighborhoods as soon as possible!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!
Best,
Daniel
Hello everyone!!
So we are officially 58% funded as of yesterday!! Thank you so much for all of the support so far! Each pledge is genuinely appreciated from the bottom of our artichoke hearts and we will be sure to make each and every dollar as impactful as possible!
Last week we went to see the school bus that we would like to convert into the Fresh Truck!! The BioBus previously served as an awesome nonprofit that traveled the country promoting green energy http://acespace.org/bus ! It runs on recaptured vegetable oil from restaurants, as well as diesel, if necessary. It also powers appliances and an integrated music system through solar panels found on the roof!
The BioBus will serve as the perfect Fresh Truck. It is already retrofitted to suit many of our needs, is a dependable bus model, and is eco-friendly!! Check out a video of the Fresh Truck team's visit to the bus: http://bit.ly/13LQvWW
Please continue to share our story with your friends/family/coworkers so that we can start reaching out to food deserts in Boston as soon as possible!!
Thanks again!
Daniel
