Community Outreach

Truck operators are former consumers who are now Bayaud employees paid to connect other adults in need to our mobile services and introduce them to Bayaud’s continuum of services and other community resources.  By meeting people literally where they are, in line for a shower or waiting for food, truck operators are able to circumvent barriers such as transportation, childcare, or physical mobility that might otherwise prevent meaningful engagement about available community-based solutions to personal challenges.  After addressing the immediate needs of our laundry/shower truck or food consumers, we anticipate these outreach efforts will lead to an increase in securing longer-term consumer engagement that could involve support with job readiness, job placement, acquisition of disability benefits or health care navigation.
