The Truck Brigade’s mission is to connect furniture donations with their new homes and is thriving thanks to a group of dedicated volunteers. Every Friday, these volunteers pick up donated items from residences and businesses around the Omaha Metro and take them to Youth Mart. They then deliver items from Youth Mart to young adults who are working towards making their own independent living space.

As the name suggests, volunteers use not only their own trucks, but in some cases, SUVs, vans or minivans.

Truck brigade volunteers not only deliver furniture and material goods to the young adult former foster youths, but also pick up large furniture donations from the community. 

“The youth served by Truck Brigade are always so gracious and appreciative of the volunteers and thrilled to get their items to their home,” Adam said. “The volunteers are also filled with the joy of giving these young adults a hand and showing them they are cared for.”
