Name: Noemie Bechu
Age: 22
Current residence: Jamaica Plain, MA
Occupation: In-home therapy clinician at the Brookline Community Mental Health Center
Fresh Truck volunteer since: August 2018
Favorite volunteer location: Pop-ups. I love seeing how excited everyone is to have the truck come to their neighborhood.
I volunteer with Fresh Truck because: I love Fresh Truck’s mission to help people of lower socioeconomic status gain access to affordable healthy food. There’s a big community around Fresh Truck and this community (staff, volunteers, shoppers) has kept me coming back.
My favorite Fresh Truck memory is: Everyone who comes on the truck is so friendly and grateful, and one women shared with me her recipe to make eggplant parmesan. It was a small moment, but she was ecstatic to share it with me.
My favorite fruit or vegetable is: Apples!
