Fresh Food, Right at Home

At 88 years young, Carrie has learned to appreciate the things that make life a little easier — especially fresh, nutritious food that comes right to her door.

Carrie lives at Carnation Point Apartments and doesn’t drive, so when FeedMore’s Farm Truck arrives every two weeks, she looks forward to making her way downstairs with her walker.

“It’s convenient,” Carrie says. “What I get is nice and fresh, and the price is good.”

The Farm Truck gives Carrie access to fresh fruits and vegetables at affordable prices without requiring her to find transportation to a grocery store. That combination of convenience, affordability, and access helps make healthy food easier to bring home.

“Everybody on the truck is very polite and they assist you as much as they can,” she says. “I love this truck. I look forward to it every two weeks.”

Carrie has a special appreciation for fresh produce. After years working in food service, she knows how to make the most of what she brings home. When collard greens are available, she buys several bunches, washes and cuts them, and freezes them so she can enjoy them later.

Affordability matters just as much as accessibility, and Carrie shares that she isn’t the only one who benefits.

“There are a lot of families that don’t drive,” she says. “They need good prices.”

Thanks to generous supporters like you, the Farm Truck brings fresh, affordable food directly into communities where transportation, mobility or cost can make healthy groceries difficult to access.

For Carrie, it means more than fresh food. It means friendly faces, convenience, and the independence to keep choosing the foods she loves.
