WAKE FOREST, NC – The Northern Community Food Security Team (NCFST) and Ripe for Revival (501(c)3) are pleased to provide a mobile grocery store across from the Northern Regional Center, 350 E. Holding Ave., (typically) on the second and fourth Thursday of each month from 3-4:30 p.m. – rain or shine. Stocked with fresh produce, protein, and eggs from local and regional farmers, the Mobile Market returns to Wake Forest on Thursday, Oct. 23.

Open to all community members, the mobile grocery store makes these food products accessible and affordable to all, regardless of your budget. When shopping, there are limits on the amount of protein and eggs a consumer can purchase, but no limits on produce. At checkout, shoppers are given a suggested total. They can then pay the suggested amount, pay more (pay it forward), or pay what you can. Both cash and card payments are accepted.

As a bonus on Thursday, AmeriHealth Caritas NC Mobile Wellness Center will be onsite providing blood pressure screenings, Wi-Fi computer/printer access, and charging stations, as well as information on Medicaid. Representatives from GoTriangle will also be on hand sharing information about upcoming service change improvements designed to offer better transit access for residents of Wendell, Zebulon, and Wake Forest.

Please note: Due to the coming holiday season, Ripe for Revival will adjust its Wake Forest schedule in November and December. Instead of coming to town on the second and fourth Thursday (per usual), the Mobile Market will return to 350 E. Holding Ave. on the first and third Thursdays (November 6 and 20; December 4 and 18).
