OUR FLEET OF TRUCKS
-
The Laundry Truck is a laundromat on wheels. With four washers and dryers, we are able to wash and dry multiple loads of laundry each time the truck is deployed. By washing clothes, not only do we meet a practical need for families, but providing clean clothes also restores a sense of dignity. Each load washed, is a load lifted for these families.
-
The Stage Truck runs our flagship mobile kids program called: ML KIDS. This high energy weekly kids program from the Stage Truck includes music, drama, games, prizes, an empowering message of hope that is so often hard to come by. The Stage Truck teaches kids personal life skills and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons.
-
The Mobilize Love Food Truck is the first non-profit food truck ever in the Bay Area — and has garnered attention for being an essential hero serving on the frontlines throughout the 2020 pandemic crisis. The Food Truck has the ability to cook and serve hundreds of meals each day. By providing food, we are meeting the most basic physiological needs and in doing so, we replace hunger for hope!
-
The Stories Truck is our mobile library truck that tackles the literacy crisis among children in underserved communities. With little access to books and low levels of reading proficiency, our Stories Truck offers a literacy program that motivates kids to read by incentivizing and rewarding kids for reading. In partnership with schools and parents, we measure their reading levels, comprehension, and growth in literacy.
-
The refrigerated truck is a vital component of our food relief efforts in the communities we serve. Providing nutritious food that kids and families need to thrive. 1 in 4 children in the city are living in households that do not have reliable access to affordable and nutritious food. Children who are food insecure are at increased risk of mental and physical health issues, poor academic outcomes, behavioral issues, and developmental problems.
-
The Distribution Truck helps deliver much needed household goods, hygiene products, school supplies, and other seasonal goods that low-income families need. Each year, we distribute hundreds of thousands of dollars of brand new goods directly to low-income families to help them in their fight to make ends meet. Oftentimes, low-income families are extremely vulnerable to entering a slippery slope as they are only one paycheck away from a financial crisis. So by providing basic necessities, we are preemptively helping families stay housed and secured.
