Job Description

ABOUT FRESH TRUCK

Fresh Truck’s mission is to strengthen Boston communities by getting fresh food to the households that need it most. We envision a Boston where fresh, affordable food is a guarantee for every neighborhood, not a privilege. A city where food is more than nourishment, it’s a connection to health, opportunity, and community.

Fresh Truck’s programs meet people where they are, delivering solutions to food insecurity in a way that is deeply embedded in the communities we serve. Our markets serve as hubs of connection, where food is accessible, shopping is dignified, and choice is never compromised.

In times of change and uncertainty, Fresh Truck has always stepped in—rapid response, innovation, and community care are in our DNA.

Our Outcomes:

  • 19 weekly mobile market locations across Boston
  • $2.4M in food provided to households in 2024
  • Serving 60,000+ individuals annually
  • Largest HIP (Health Incentives Program) vendor statewide
  • Trust and appreciation from the shoppers we serve, hear it from them!

In 2024, Fresh Truck began operating as an independent nonprofit after over a decade of operating as a program of About Fresh. This independence strengthens our local identity and allows us to focus fully on meeting the evolving needs of Boston’s communities.

THE POSITION

Fresh Truck seeks an Executive Director who is committed to building a Boston where fresh, affordable food is available and accessible in every neighborhood. The ideal candidate brings exceptional external relations skills, demonstrated fundraising expertise, and a collaborative, roll-up-your-sleeves approach to leadership.

The Executive Director will work closely with our Board of Directors, manage Fresh Truck's 14-person staff team, and cultivate relationships with funders, community partners, government agencies, and other key stakeholders. This role requires someone who can be the external face of the organization—telling Fresh Truck's story compellingly to donors, partners, and the broader Boston community—while also building and refining internal systems to support sustainable growth.

Your commitment to equity, strategic thinking, and ability to work collaboratively with an engaged, mission-driven team will be instrumental in advancing Fresh Truck's impact.

This role reports to Fresh Truck's Board of Directors. Fresh Truck's FY25 annual operating budget is $2MM.
