NCFST Mobile Market returns to Wake Forest Thursday

The holiday season is upon us, and the Northern Community Food Security Team (NCFST) Mobile Market is sure to make Santa’s “Nice List” by adjusting its normal schedule. This month, instead of coming to town on the second and fourth Thursday (per usual), the NCFST Mobile Market scheduled its visits on the first and third Thursdays in December.

As a result, the mobile market will again be parked across from the Northern Regional Center, 350 E. Holding Ave., on Thursday, Dec. 19, from 3-5 p.m. The NCFST will resume its normal schedule in January by returning to Wake Forest on Thursday, Jan. 9, and Thursday, Jan. 23.

Open to everyone, the NCFST Mobile Market is a pay-what-you-can mobile grocery store that 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 limits on the amount of protein, dairy, and eggs a consumer can purchase, but no limits on produce.

At checkout, shoppers are 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.
