NEW BRITAIN — The Urban Oaks Organic Farm mobile food truck is back on the road.

It was feared that due to a lack of funding, the truck, which provides fresh fruits and vegetables to the city’s neediest residents, would not operate this year.

Urban Oaks was turned down for several grants this year. In addition, the nonprofit had asked the city to allocate about $33,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant money to fund a driver, vehicle upkeep and a few staff members, but was turned down.

But thanks to a GoFundMe account and other donors, $3,300 was raised. While the truck visited four sites last year, its first, the money raised this year will only pay for trips to two.

The food truck began serving customers this week. It will be open from 1 to 3 p.m. every Monday through the end of September at the New Britain Community Health Center, 1 Washington St., and from 2 to 4 p.m. every Tuesday through Sept. 29 at Jefferson Elementary School, 140 Horse Plain Road.

Liz Aaronsohn, chairwoman of the Urban Oaks board, said Wednesday “we are all thrilled we will be able to provide this service again. They (donors) restored our faith in people. We have angels out there. It would have been a tragedy to have that truck in our possession and not use it.”

Peggy Hall, the mobile market manager, said the health center and Jefferson are “two areas where there are a high density of low-income people. The biggest thing for us is to make healthy food affordable and accessible. We love talking to people about healthy eating and why it’s so important.”
