NCFST Mobile Market returns to Wake Forest Thursday & Saturday

The Northern Community Food Security Team (NCFST) and Ripe for Revival are pleased to provide a mobile grocery store across from the Northern Regional Center, 350 E. Holding Ave., on the second and fourth Thursday of each month from 3-5 p.m. – rain or shine. Offering fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy from local and regional farmers on a pay-what-you-can scale, the NCFST Mobile Market returns to East Holding Avenue on Thursday, Sept. 26.

As a bonus, a representative from Healthy Blue, a Medicaid plan offered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of NC, will be onsite providing information about Medicaid and Healthy Blue. A GoTriangle representative will also be on hand sharing information on Share The Ride NC – an online platform that helps individuals across the state find commute partners quickly and securely.

Open to everyone, NCFST’s 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 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. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/WF_NCFST.

The NCFST Mobile Market will also be parked in the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre parking lot, 405 S. Brooks St., during the Wake Forest Mental Wellness Fair on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 1-4 p.m. For more information, email Community Outreach Manager Andrew Brown, Jr. at [email protected].
