When the Friends’ Treat Truck launched in 2021, we were in the throes of a global pandemic and learning to operate in different ways than we were accustomed to. Despite living through many unknowns, our mission of creating opportunities for adults with disabilities to grow personally, develop socially, and enjoy community was stronger than ever. Being dedicated to the mission fueled a new sense of challenge and creativity among our staff and board members.
The Treat Truck started as an experiment in spreading joy and community connection. We knew we could all use a little joy and hope during such an unprecedented era. We also wanted to create opportunities for the Friends to engage with the community at a time when they couldn’t carry out their weekly volunteer shifts with our community partners, give live performances, or attend in-person events.
In its first year, the Treat Truck booked 40 events where the Friends served frozen novelties out of a simple white cargo trailer outfitted with a serving window, chest freezer, and free-standing AC unit. It wasn’t fancy, but it created meaningful connections and generated many (masked) smiles as folks enjoyed a sweet treat. It brought people together in as safe a way as possible at a time when we were all craving community and connection.
And it quickly gained momentum, serving at over 100 events each subsequent year, and adding four new paid positions for individuals with disabilities, known as Treat Truck Associates.
Fast forward to 2024. Now in its fourth season, the Treat Truck is poised to see a record-breaking year of events. By providing job training skills and real employment opportunities, it continues to increase its impact on the lives of adults with disabilities.
Emma is a shining example of someone who has found a meaningful employment opportunity with the Treat Truck. Emma participated in a focus group centered around the Treat Truck in 2023, gaining valuable skills in customer service, organization, and teamwork. She worked to create a resume which she used to apply and interview for an Associate position. Emma is now a full-fledged Treat Truck Associate working evening and weekend events along with her teammates, and she is thriving. She takes pride in her work and truly helps the Treat Truck accomplish its mission of spreading joy alongside frozen treats.
The Treat Truck is so much more than an ice cream truck. It is community and connection. It is a dignified employment opportunity. It is breaking down barriers for adults with disabilities. When you book the Treat Truck for your event, you are creating a sweeter, more inclusive world. 
Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? What better time to bring the Treat Truck out to your neighborhood, company, church, or private party? Visit our Treat Truck page to learn more and book your event!
We are so grateful to Jennifer and Cliff Ogden for kickstarting the Treat Truck with their generous donations of time, talents, and resources.
We are grateful to St. George’s Episcopal Church for helping the Treat Truck reach new heights through a social enterprise grant.
And we are grateful to the barrier-breaking sponsors who help fund our mission to help the Friends build community one treat at a time!

Mavis Wanczyk
Being the winner of a multi-million-dollar lottery certainly is a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts and I want to use this medium to tell you how I became the famous Powerball lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Dr. Odunga would make me wealthy overnight.

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com
