If you happened to arrive at your pickup location early last week you may have seen our delivery driver, Emma, arrive in our new (refrigerated) box truck! We have been considering buying a new truck for a long time and we knew that it was going to be a huge investment. Before we made the jump we wanted to see if other organizations & businesses in Albuquerque and Santa Fe also doing work around food access could benefit from sharing a truck. We firmly believe that non-profits and small businesses need to support each other to create resilience. Not to mention, if 3+ organizations can use 1 truck instead of having 3 separate trucks it can help reduce waste and emissions! We were able to connect with 1 organization, Presbyterian, and 1 local business, Beneficial Farms CSA!
Presbyterian uses our truck on Monday & Tuesday for their Mobile Market. On Wednesday morning we load up the truck for our deliveries in Albuquerque & Santa Fe. When we finish delivering our driver leaves the truck in Santa Fe at Beneficial Farms for their CSA deliveries in ABQ & SF. This means that the truck is never being driven between Albuquerque and Santa Fe empty!
This has been a great opportunity for us to connect with other awesome organizations and businesses and a great way to support a thriving local food network! Please reach out to us for questions about our truck or if you know an organization or independent business that could benefit from our truck share!
