MY NEIGHBORHOOD MOBILE GROCERY

My Neighborhood Mobile Grocery (MNMG) is a nutritionally-focused mobile grocery retail model that provides individuals and families with low access to affordable, healthy foods with a new and innovative shopping option within their communities. Offering a wide, competitively priced product mix that balances client choice with nutritional products, educational programming, and free food give-a-ways to incentivize increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, MNMG extends the purchasing power of shoppers.


Lexington Village Apartments is a high-rise complex for low-income seniors and young disabled, and we will need up to 10 volunteers to serve in the following functions:

Greeters/Order Takers (3-4 needed) - Greet shoppers as they arrive. Distribute shopping lists and explain the ordering process. Manage the queueing line of shoppers as they review products on the display table and wait to place their order. Indoor setting.

Order Fillers (1-2 needed) - Work on pulling the customers’ orders from the Gleaners Mobile Grocery truck. Orders will also be double checked as they are bagged for customers.

Order Baggers (3-4 needed) - Double check orders coming off the truck and bag for customers. Indoor and outdoor setting.
