SitemapTwo community organizations, ACTION and GROW Urban Farm, a project of Flying High, Inc., have set out to diminish the food deserts in our community.
They've been doing pop up markets for several years, but now realize the need is greater than they had imagined.
"We've been doing pop up markets all over the city but everybody cannot get to those markets," said Rose Carter, executive director at ACTION. "So we want to be able to get to all the outline areas in a mobile truck," she said.
The pop up markets usually last four months out of the year, but the truck will run year-round, going into neighborhoods and allowing people to enter and shop.
Just like a regular grocery store, the food is going to cost but prices will be low.
