NCFST Mobile Market returns to Wake Forest Thursday

The Northern Community Food Security Team (NCFST) is partnering with Ripe for Revival to offer a mobile grocery store on the second and fourth Thursday of each month from 3-5 p.m. across from the Northern Regional Center, 350 E. Holding Ave. Offering fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy from local and regional farmers on a pay-what-you-can scale, the NCFST Mobile Market will return to East Holding Avenue on Thursday, Jan. 11.

Open to everyone, the pay-what-you-can mobile grocery store makes fresh and local produce, proteins, dairy, eggs, and other food products accessible and affordable to all, regardless of their budget.

When shopping, there are some limits on the amount of protein, dairy, and eggs a consumer can purchase, but no limits on produce.

At checkout, shoppers will be given a suggested total. Shoppers can then pay the full amount, a portion of that amount, or nothing at all. Both cash and card payments are accepted, along with Android/Apple Pay.

The NCFST Mobile Market will be back in Wake Forest on Thursday, Jan. 25. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/NCFSTMobileMarket or email Community Outreach Manager Andrew Brown, Jr. at [email protected].
