More communities added to Mobile Miracle Market route

The Mobile Miracle Market is adding new locations to their weekly routes.

Starting this Tuesday the Mobile Market will be adding Tilbury on Tuesdays (9 a.m. to 10 a.m.) and Pain Court on Thursdays (12 p.m. to 1 p.m.).

Starting Tuesday October 6 , 2020, the Mobile Market will be adding Blenheim on Tuesdays (1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.), Ridgetown on Wednesdays (2 p.m. to 3 p.m.), and Dresden on Thursdays (10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.) on their weekly routes.

Organizers say since launching two weeks ago, the Mobile Market has handed out almost 200 boxes of fresh, local produce.

They have also received generous produce donations from various local growers and are being supported by Chatham-Kent Public Health’s Gleaning Program.

“It is amazing to see our community coming together to make sure healthy food is accessible to people across our community,” said Heather Tulloch, Community Food Connector for the Prosperity Roundtable, in a press release.

As a reminder, organizers say everyone is welcome to participate in the Mobile Market.

To keep the Mobile Market growing, the organizers introduced a ‘get a box, give a box’ campaign.

As you pick up your produce box, you have the option to pay it forward by donating to help the next person get a box.
