Distribute Food at Community Market at MLK Apartments

Our Mobile Community Market successfully reaches many underserved and low-income communities, with customers returning week after week to collect fresh produce that they would not otherwise have access to. With the help of our farm and community partners, we collect and purchase fresh food and staples and then redistribute them to communities with limited access to healthy and nutritious food.
