Mobile Market
A nimble way to fill a need
Care and Share launched the Mobile Market program in May of 2020.
Now, our Mobile Market program serves neighbors across Southern Colorado. The Mobile Market is like a small grocery store on wheels. It’s designed to take food directly into hard-to-reach neighborhoods that have high concentrations of need, communities where residents face physical or health-related obstacles that make accessing food or traditional services difficult—this can include senior residential communities. This program allows us to serve individuals and families who may not have access to reliable transportation. Choice is a big part of our Mobile Market program. Neighbors get to pick out which foods they want to bag and take home.
“When we're able to give fresh fruits and veggies to our neighbors, you can really see community building right in front of your eyes.”
- steven williams, Programs Director
