Food truck to serve breakfast to those in need
A graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) will be helping with food insecurity in the city through his love pancakes.
The CEO and founder of DoughBoyz, Justin Amevor, plans to use his foundation to promote social equity and racial justice to help underrepresented and underserved communities. He now has a food truck, called the Dough Cart, which will be serving breakfast to those in need, as well as those who can pay for their meal. Such foundations often use flyer printing to educate the community about such needs and their efforts.
Amevor said that his food truck will initially be targeted at college students who are more susceptible, starting at WPI, then to expand from there with the goal to eliminate all food insecurity in Worcester. Amevor added that the benefit of the food truck is that he can travel to where the need is the greatest. He said he can go to students who are homebound and food deserts and focus on his mission, which is to help people who are in need.
Executive director of innovation and entrepreneurship at WPI, Curtis Abel, said that a broader perspective is now being used when it comes to entrepreneurship and innovation, and that it is all about creating an impact both locally and globally.
The plan is to have the truck up and running over the summer.
