“The idea was to create a volunteer group whose mission was to serve the youth of Project Everlast and other nonprofits by delivering furniture and household items, as well as collecting donations from around the Omaha Metro for OHB’s Youth Mart,” Adam said. Youth Mart Co-creators Keenan Page and Jim Hubbard had dreamed of having a delivery system for their shop, so the concept of the Truck Brigade took form. “We were off and running – or driving, as it was!”
