Our Mobile Market Program was created in an effort to bring healthy foods directly into low-resource communities, eliminating travel burdens and barriers, and improving access to essential food items.
This initiative acts as a “pantry on wheels”, offering a selection of meal kits of nutrient-rich pantry staples, accompanied by simple, easy-to-follow recipes. In addition, neighbors can select protein and dairy products, fresh fruits, and vegetables to take home with them as well.
Mobile Markets are tailored to serve rural areas, senior assisted living facilities, low-income housing communities, transportation-limited neighborhoods, and school programs. Our goal is to close food access gaps, provide nourishment to families, promote nutrition education, and strengthen our community by addressing food insecurity.
A sponsorship of a Mobile Market Program allows South Michigan Food Bank the opportunity to expand to more locations, enhance our food options, and support our neighbors facing food insecurity. Your support will bring nutritious foods right to communities that need it most, ensuring that more of our neighbors have access to the nourishment they need to thrive. For more information on sponsoring a Mobile Market, and how you can get involved please connect with us at info@smfoodbank.org
For those volunteering, please select dates and locations by using our Volunteer Hub.
