What Our
Volunteers Say

A truly unforgettable experience. It’s a wonderful way to give back to the community and get a bunch of smiles in return. SevaTruck’s definitely achieves its mission goals of combating hunger, serving and building unity. It was awesome to see everyone come together and make it happen.”

Felipe Rodriguez

Working with Sevatruck was such a fun and tangible way to directly help our local community.  I really enjoyed meeting people from all ages and backgrounds, and hearing some personal stories as we shared a warm meal with them.  It’s a good feeling to make someone’s day a little brighter, and our small contribution lets that person know that the people around them value and care about them.”

Rebecca Cohencious

Working with SevaTruck to serve over 200 meals to the LAYC was an invaluable (and fun!) experience.  It is easy to feel like you are busy and overwhelmed with day to day activities but when you have the opportunity to connect with people in need, it is a powerful reminder of what is truly important.  SevaTruck is an incredible resource for our community and I look forward to volunteering again in the future.”

Mandy Owens

I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to volunteer with SevaTruck. Before becoming involved with SevaTruck, I did not understand the extent to which the children in our nation’s capital face food insecurity. It was extremely rewarding to be able to serve children from the Latin American Youth Center a warm meal and personally connect with those we are serving in the community. There is something very special about not just giving of your time, but spending that time directly interacting with those you are striving to help.”

Stephanie Callaghan

My first time volunteering for SevaTruck was a very rewarding experience. The camaraderie of the SevaTruck team and the interaction with the Vets was a unique experience that provided a sense of perspective that is often absent from my daily awareness. I will certainly do it again!”

Corey Ferris

Such an incredible experience to be able to treat others with love and respect and receive kindness and appreciation for the simplest of things-providing a warm meal. Many asked us when we would be back! We hope to provide many loving meals in the years to come. SevaTruck is on the move and we are excited to be a part of its movement!”
