MY NEIGHBORHOOD MOBILE GROCERY
My Neighborhood Mobile Grocery (MNMG) is a weekly pop-up grocery retail model that provides individuals and families who have 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 incentives to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, MNMG extends the purchasing power of shoppers.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
