Fresh Stop Mobile Farmers Market Unveils New Truck

Fresh Stop Ribbon Cutting Event

On March 17th  Hebni Nutrition Consultants officially unveiled its new mobile market truck, made possible by a $250,000 investment from the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation. This initiative is part of a three-year, $750,000 partnership to expand Hebni’s Fresh Stop Mobile Farmers Market program which delivers fresh produce to food desert communities across Central Florida.

The unveiling ceremony, held at the Grand Avenue Neighborhood Center, featured Commissioner Bakari F. Burns of District 6, Commissioner Shan Rose of District 5, Sprouts executives Lyndsey Waugh and Jaysen Pauley, and Glen Providence, Executive Director of Hebni. Commissioner Burns recognized Hebni's 30-year commitment to the community with an official proclamation declaring March 17, 2025, as “Hebni Nutrition Consultants' 30th Anniversary Day.”

 Lyndsey Waugh, Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation: “I was truly overwhelmed to see Hebni working so deeply and intentionally. It is about bringing resources to the community and having the community at the table to define the resources they want to see. Now, that's the type of programming that puts dignity on the front lines of how we show up and serve.” 

Jaysen Pauley, Sprouts District Director: “Sprouts has a simple mission. We want to help people live and eat better. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission; it is our DNA. We're proud to support Hebni in serving and educating the communities we care about.”  

Glen Providence, Executive Director of Hebni: “For Fresh Stop, a question has always been, how do we extend deeper into the communities we serve? How do we reach more people? When Sprouts came to see us and the work we do and said to us, it looks like you need a new vehicle, I said hallelujah, we would love that. This grant has allowed us to go to the drawing board and design a truck that fits perfectly with our vision, plan, and needs.”
