Harry Chapin Food Bank recently launched a mobile market to support the estimated 134,250 people in Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Glades and Hendry Counties that faced food insecurity in 2021.
The “Fresh Force” mobile grocery experience is an innovative program that aims to make food more readily accessible in rural areas, where families have transportation barriers or are not able to regularly access food through traditional grocery stores.
Community members will have the opportunity to select fresh produce, canned and dry goods, frozen meats, bread and grains. The initiative includes donated items, farmers market-style goods and education, empowering communities with healthy choices.
