LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Dare to Care’s mobile market is back, bringing grocery items to neighborhoods in Louisville that have limited or no access to fresh produce and other healthy options.
The Zero Hunger Mobile Market, described on the Dare to Care website as a single-aisle grocery store on wheels, reopened on July 6. The market will be making stops at the Louisville Urban League, the Puritan Apartments and the Chapel House between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Friday.
Community members can purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and shelf-stable pantry items from the truck. Cash will not be accepted, so all payments must be made with a credit, debit or EBT card.
Only one person will be allowed inside the market at time to maintain social distancing and masks or face coverings are required for all customers.
The mobile market visits around 2 to 3 locations every weekday. The full calendar can be viewed here.
