Name: Michelle Prevost
Current residence: South Boston, MA
Occupation: Currently looking to re-enter the real world since finishing business school.
Fresh Truck volunteer since: Fall 2O18
Favorite volunteer location: Patrick J. Kennedy School in East Boston. Thanks to its proximity to delicious Colombian food around the corner!
I volunteer with Fresh Truck because: I love helping in some small way to address the huge challenge that is food access in Boston, and helping in a larger way to address the huge challenge that is stocking fresh produce properly on a small school bus.
My favorite Fresh Truck memory is: Finally learning what ingredients make up a proper sofrito (thanks Vicky!) – all of which can be found on the truck.
My favorite fruit or vegetable is: Is garlic a vegetable?
Anything else to add: Hats off to the Market Managers, who facilitate an incredibly fun and meaningful volunteer experience!
