MILWAUKEE, Wisc. — Alice Stokes volunteers at the Clinton Rose Senior Center in Milwaukee every day.
On Thursday, the Hunger Task Force Mobile Market rolled in, selling fresh fruits and vegetables at half price for communities living in food deserts.
“The Mobile Market is more than just a regular grocery store with the usual selection. It’s tailored to each community it stops in,” said Jonathan Hansen, chief strategy officer of Hunger Task Force.
Stokes has visited the market for years, picking up basic necessities that help offset the rising price of groceries.
“It helps me because sometimes I feed my grandkids also, and this food helps extend it, to do more with it. And when you can get it for 50% off? Wow, wow! That’s a blessing in itself,” said Stokes.
