For seven years, Aimy has been a familiar sight across Southwestern PA, proudly sporting our signature green and giant logo. This hardworking fleet truck has logged 164,000 miles and completed 6,238 food rescues, delivering 3,074,014 pounds of good food to 198 community partners throughout the region.
Pantries, shelters, and community programs all knew her on sight!
Now Aimy is passing the keys to a new refrigerated box truck. This upgrade will keep perishable donations like fresh produce, dairy, and protein cold from the donor’s loading dock to our partners’ doors, so more good food reaches more people.
A new truck is exciting, and it also comes with one-time costs. We had to remove Aimy’s green wrap and wrap the new truck. We also had to rent a replacement truck while the work was done, because food recovery doesn’t stop!
Why spend the resources on something cosmetic like the wrap? That green wrap is our identity on wheels. It’s brand recognition in the neighborhoods we serve and visibility for our mission. It shows professionalism when we arrive at a food donor’s loading dock, and it’s a moving billboard that reminds our community that good food should never go to waste. And it’s one more way we build trust and awareness for the work we do every day.
Help us keep our mission moving and recognizable in the communities we serve. Your gift can help ensure that when a 412 Food Rescue truck pulls up, our donors, nonprofit partners, and neighbors know exactly who we are and why we’re there.
