What Is the Mobile Food Market?
The Mobile Food Market is a weekly produce market in your neighbourhood. We make fresh food affordable and accessible. The collective assortment of produce offered varies on a weekly basis and there is always a minimum of 5 varieties available.
Who Can Shop?
Everyone.
How Much Does it Cost?
Each week a selection of produce will be available for purchase. Items are not sold separately. The menu of fruits and vegetables offered weekly costs the food bank $10-$15 per basket.
By purchasing your produce at the Mobile Food Market you are not only supporting food bank initiatives but also local agriculture as we source as much food locally as possible.
If your basic needs are at risk, visit our sites in person and the minimum fee per basket is $5.00. Please continue to shop with us, no questions asked.
