Mobile Market
What is the Mobile Market?
The Mobile Market is a grocery store on wheels that travels throughout Milwaukee County to visit neighborhoods and communities that have limited access to fresh and healthy foods. The Mobile Market makes stops daily Monday – Friday in communities throughout the city.
Along with other staples, local grocer Piggly Wiggly stocks the Mobile Market with a healthy selection of fruits, vegetables, milk (dairy and nondairy options), chicken, beef, pork, deli meat, cheese, yogurt and more. The market does not sell canned items or processed foods.
How do I shop the Mobile Market?
The market accepts debit cards, credit cards and Quest EBT. No cash is onboard or accepted. Hunger Task Force FoodShare Outreach staff will help eligible people apply for FoodShare during market operating hours. The market is an active store, not a food pantry or donation center.
All shoppers are welcome on the Mobile Market. Hunger Task Force offers 25% OFF all items on the Mobile Market beyond Piggly Wiggly’s low prices.
“Many of our older adults are low income and depend on one check a month. With the cost of groceries being so high now, it makes it harder for older adults to get nutritious meals on their budgets. Older adults, especially those who live in food desert areas, don’t have access to fresh produce, meats, and veggies in their neighborhoods. The Hunger Task Force Mobile Market provides an opportunity for everyone in the community to get the food they need at an affordable price and is a life changer for many people here. People line up for the Mobile Market before the truck even arrives, which shows the importance and need of this phenomenal program. We are extremely grateful to the Hunger Task Force for not only being an anchor to our community but for giving people in the community the opportunity to get the food they depend on and need.”
