Our Experience Break Down:

Week 1 (9/20)

• All of our first days on the truck

  • got an overview on how the truck works and how to answer customers questions

• We learned the basics and got introduced to the main managers working with Fresh

Week 2

• We felt more comfortable with our responsibilities

• Got to talk more personally with some of the managers and customers; learned some life stories

Week 3

• The first chaotic busy market in the South End; ran out of a lot; a few fights broke out in the line due to how long it was taking

  • definitely a learning experience; it was amazing to see how one of the managers, Vince, stayed so calm and handled everyone's separate issues with such ease

Week 4

• Got more familiar with the answers to the customer's questions

Week 5

• Relationship with managers has strengthened, while we became much more comfortable with our duties

• We have also become more comfortable and recognizable with some of the customers

Week 6

• At this point in our volunteering experience, our days were at a pretty consistent pace but we were still consistently learning a lot about Fresh Truck and the community we were volunteering in

Week 7

• We have now gotten into a solid flow in our volunteer work, and continued this flow until the end of our volunteering.
