Good Kart
The document proposes launching a mobile food truck called the GOOD KART to provide support to teens in Portland. The GOOD KART would [1] offer healthy food, fun activities, and a space for dialogue to address the complex issues facing teens, [2] be staffed by trained advocates to establish trusting relationships and respond to crises, and [3] deliver an adaptive curriculum through a strength-based approach. Initial funding needs include $15,000 for a used food truck, $60,000 for the first year of staffing, and $75,000 total for the first year of operations. The goal is to expand with additional food trucks and staffing in the second year.
