Mobile Produce Market: At a Location Near You
Cookies, candy, and sugary sweets. Who doesn’t love these things? As much as we all love sweets and unhealthy snacks, these things are not good for the health our community. As you may know, Allen County has many food deserts, which means we these areas have low access to fresh affordable produce and other healthy options. One solution to this issue is the Mobile Produce Market, directed by the West Ohio Food Bank.
